Grading and Assignments

Over the course of the semester, I will expect you to complete a number of tasks. The breakdown of how much each task is worth when calculating your grade for the course is as follows:

Class Participation: 15%
Food for Thought Reading Assignments: 20%
Essays: 30%
Examinations: 35%

Total: 100%

I strongly urge you to review with great care the sections of this website that discuss academic honesty and grading criteria.
