12.9 Turning in your work, grades, and next week's class

This evening you worked on posting to your sentence pattern pages, and finishing up your memoirs.  Before we began the workshop, we discussed the following.

Turning in your work :
All work should be posted to your google.site, either as an attachement (successive drafts of your memoir/biography using), or pasted into the page (for vocabulary entries, and sentence patterns for revising your writing). Work will be due by the beginning of class, 12.16.   If you have trouble with your site, or have questions, schedule a time to work with me in my office.

Grades:
As discussed in class, your grade will be assigned in terms of the following allocation of points.

350 points – Class participation (individual and group work) and daily homework (We had a total of 25 points/class; everybody will get 25 points for the class I missed).  Daily homework includes assignment to post writing to your site (see course blog for dates), which I then returned to you with comments.  

150 points – Entries on vocabularly web site (10 points/post, one post a week for the duration of the course)

150 points – Entries on grammar patterns web site (minimum 5 posts at 30 points each)

  200 points – Completed memoir  or biography 

The syllabus originally required journal posts, but we did not do those, so they are not included here.  This means there were a total of 850 points possible for this course.  

You will need over 70% to pass, or a total of 596 points.

Reading next week.
We will be meeting in CAS 308 next week.  You will share your with your classmates.
Each of you should bring a printed copy of the material you want to read.  For your reading, begin by providing some brief background on:
an overview of what your reading will be about;
how you chose your topic,
and any writing issues you faced as you wrote your memoir.

Each reader will have about 10 minutes.


Good class this evening, and I'm looking forward to hearing you read your work.
