Rather than having the bulk of the grade based solely on exams, students will be evaluated on participation (20%), opinion piece (5%), two exams (25% each), and a short paper (25% each).\u00a0 Participation includes in-class activities and through VIULearn<\/a>.\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

<\/a>PARTICIPATION & ATTENDANCE (20%)
\n<\/span><\/strong>As noted, participation accounts for 20% 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

For those who are less confident about speaking in class, you can still participate through VIULearn<\/a>, 5%. Each student<\/strong> is expected to contribute to the various discussion topics (grouped as weekly) throughout the semester<\/em><\/strong>, either by posting a relevant article, or commenting on one submitted by a classmate. \u00a0The latter should be substantive,<\/strong> i.e., an informed opinion, not one that states agreement.\u00a0\u00a0Whether you do all or some remains your choice; your participation mark will reflect this.<\/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.\u00a0 For the last evaluation, April 12, you can indicate whether you want your in-class (10%) and online (5%) participation evaluated as indicated or reversed, that is, in-class (5%) and online (10%).\u00a0 If you do not explicitly specify, the greater portion of the assessment will be assigned to in-class.<\/p>\n

To receive full credit for participation (quality counts!)<\/strong>, you must 1) attend class,
\n2) participate fully in class activities (discussion, evaluation, etc.),\u00a03) provide two self-evaluations of participation, and 4) post to\u00a0VIULearn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

<\/a>OPINION PIECE (5%)<\/span><\/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.\u00a0 If 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 <\/strong>VIULearn<\/strong><\/a>.<\/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>. \u00a0Be reflective, support your opinion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE: 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><\/span><\/p>\n

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