Basis
of Grading & Policies
• Two analytic essays and one research
report (50% of final grade)
All papers must be typed, double-spaced, sporting regular margins and
font sizes.
The analytic essays should be 4-5 pages long, organized into a clear introduction,
body, and conclusion.
The research report, also 4-5 pp., will include a short, annotated bibliography.
Papers are due at the beginning of class on the days indicated above.
Late submissions sink one half grade for every class that meets after
they’re due. Extensions may be arranged up to a week before the due
date.
• Participation (25% of final grade)
Participation counts heavily towards your final grade—much more than
any single assignment. I’ll be measuring the dependability of your
punctual attendance, as well as your effort to keep the discussion interesting
and coherent. If you’ve proven yourself steady and honorable and
cheerful in keeping up with all demands of this class, you’ll be
rewarded here.
More than six absences over the course of the semester guarantee an ‘F’.
• Responses (15% of final grade)
When a response is due, it must be emailed to fraud@clayfox.com before
class meets. Responses emailed afterwards won’t be accepted. I’ll
let you know that I received the response on time.
Do not send responses as attachments. Copy the text and paste it into
the body of a regular email message. In addition, print out a copy of
the response and bring it to class with you.
You are welcome to build on a response, using it as the basis for one
of your longer essays.
Steady, timely responses will boost your participation grade. At the end
of the semester, I’ll assign a grade to the collection.
• Class hosting (10% of final grade)
Each student will at one point ‘host’ the class. That involves
giving us a brief, succinct summary of your research project (which you’ll
hand into me that day), and answering questions during class discussion.
Signups for presentations will happen early in the semester.
