Final exam: in-class reflective essay. 50 pts.
This in-class essay will ask you to identify key concepts you feel like you have learned in this class, identify concepts that remain fuzzy, and ask for your suggestions for revising the class. You will need to be specific about what you have learned, and I hope you can articulate what remains difficult or unclear about certain ideas or concepts.
Grade Scale and Grade Definition
1000-900 = A: Exceptional work–very well researched, clear, engaging prose well organized, professionally edited. There can be room for improvement in "A" work, but it most respects it knocks my socks off.
800-899 = B: Very good work–strong in many areas with some weaknesses, typically in organization, writing style, or mechanics. Content has to be excellent in order to earn a "B."
700-799 = C: Adequate work–basic research done, but not exceptional. Writing and editing acceptable, but room for improvement.
600-699 = D: Sign of a big problem–misunderstood the assignment, missed a chunk of the assignment, provided no research to support claims. "D" work can be grammatically correct and well-organized; this is about misunderstandings or incomplete work.
less than 600 = F. Typically work that is incomplete or simply not turned in.
