Evaluation will be based on attendance and participation (25%), opinion piece (5%), short paper-films (15%), exam (25%), and final paper (30%).\u00a0 There is no final exam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

**Not submitting an exam or assignment will result in an \u201cF\u201d;
\nyour final grade is based on completing ALL course work.**<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE (25%)
\n<\/strong>As noted, participation accounts for 25% of your grade; this is split between the different aspects of participation.\u00a0\u00a0Attendance is required<\/strong>; after the first two weeks, a sign-in sheet will be circulated.\u00a0\u00a0 If you sign-in and depart, this will be noted.\u00a0 There will be specific and general in-class discussion.\u00a0 If you are absent, you cannot participate.\u00a0 (See VIU General Regulations\u2013Attendance<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Active participation is contributing to all in-class activities, 10%; discussion is the primary one.\u00a0 I am interested in the\u00a0quality of comments and\/or questions raised during discussion<\/strong>.\u00a0 Be an informed participant, i.e., read the assigned materials.<\/p>\n

Please submit a\u00a0self-evaluation of your participation,<\/strong> 5%\u00a0(no more than 250 words, through VIULearn): 1) by\u00a0February 16<\/strong>; and 2) by\u00a0April 12<\/strong>.\u00a0 What are you learning?\u00a0 What is working for you?\u00a0 What challenges may be impacting your learning.\u00a0\u00a0Be reflective and honest<\/strong>\u00a0about your participation.<\/p>\n

For those who are less confident about speaking in class, you can still participate through\u00a0VIULearn<\/a>, 10%.\u00a0 Each student is expected to\u00a0contribute<\/strong>\u00a0to the discussion topics (grouped as weekly)\u00a0throughout the semester<\/em><\/strong>, either by posting a relevant article, or commenting on one submitted by a classmate.\u00a0 The latter should be\u00a0substantive<\/strong>,\u00a0i.e., an informed opinion, not one that states agreement.\u00a0 Whether you do all or some remains your choice; your participation mark will reflect this.<\/p>\n

To receive full credit for participation (quality counts!)<\/strong>, you must 1) attend class, 2) participate fully in class activities (discussion, etc.), 3) provide two self-evaluations of participation, and 4) post to\u00a0VIULearn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span> Last day to post or submit an opinion piece to\u00a0VIULearn<\/a>, if you want it to be considered as part of your overall mark, is\u00a0Friday, April 19, 11:30pm<\/strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPINION PIECE (5%)<\/strong>
\nYou are encouraged to learn outside the classroom by taking advantage of on- and off-campus events. During the semester, I will post possibilities as I become aware of them.\u00a0If there is an event that you wish to attend that I have not listed, please check with me. <\/em><\/p>\n

Attend an event and submit an opinion piece<\/strong> (no more than 250-300 words) through VIULearn<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

opin-ion<\/strong> \\ \u0259-\u2019pin-y\u0259 n \\<\/em> n. 1 a: a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.
\n(Merriam-Webster\u2019s Collegiate\u00ae Dictionary 11th Edition)<\/p>\n

As the above definition implies, I am interested in your response to the event. Your commentary is NOT to be a summary<\/strong>. Be reflective, support your opinion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> This is the only assignment that can be considered \u2018optional\u2019; there is no penalty if you do not complete this other than missing 5% of your mark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Last day to post:<\/strong> Tuesday, April 19, 11:30pm<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

SHORT PAPER, FILMS<\/strong> (15%):
\n<\/strong>There are numerous excellent NFB documentaries about Canadians, some are open public access<\/a> while others are available through NFB Campus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You are to compare\/contrast Nakagawa\u2019s Between: Living in the Hyphen<\/em><\/a> (2005, 44min) with one<\/u> of the following:<\/p>\n
