Evaluation
The several tasks for this class are each worth the following percentages
Value Added
25% of your course grade will be based upon the value you add to your colleagues' class experience. The value you add to your peers' experience in this class is based on three things:
- Attendance - You are expected to attend all classes. You should be ready to start at 1100. If you need to miss a class, let me know so we can expect that you won't be with us.
- Deportment - Be courteous to your classmates. Use your information tools to support current course activities only. Pay attention. Try not to pursue other interests during the class session.
- General Participation - which means being prepared for class, making observations about the readings, asking questions, actively working on in-class exercises and actively listening. Everyone will get the chance to participate.

Module Reports
50% of your course grade will come from four module reports.
We often do not realize what we have learned until after due deliberation. Writing a module report provides you an opportunity to reflect on the readings and lectures, and reading the reports you write provides me a chance to assess to what extent you have met the learning objectives.
