Assignments and Grades
Assignments and Due Dates
To see the outlines for each assignment, go to the assignments module. I will grade all assignments as soon as I can after they are submitted. Give me at least 48 hours to complete grades.
Discussion Thread/ Reflection Posts -
Each week you will have one discussion thread and one reflection post. Discussions are meant to be just that, a conversation between you and other students in class. I will not be active in the threads, but will be constantly lurking!
You will be required to post by Wednesday at 11:59 pm and reply to at least one peer with a thoughtful reply
(" I agree, or good point" will not count!) for 5 points.
You will also be required to post a reflection about the week's reading and discussions, due by Sunday at 11:59 pm for 5 points.
30 posts total @ 5 points each = 150 points.
**note that there are actually 32 posts, the extra two posts are potential extra credit and/or allow for a "buffer" for you to miss an occasional post. I do not allow you to post late to make up for missing a post. Discussions are interactive, between you and your fellow students. Posting late defeats the purpose.
Historical Summary Project -
This is an individual project. See the assignments module for more details.
1 Project @ 175 points

Final Portfolio-
