+ | There are four forms of assessment in this unit: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Assessment item ^ Due ^ Length | ||
+ | | Weekly writings | ||
+ | | Essay | September 9, 4:00 p.m | 1750 words | 40% | | ||
+ | | Final exam | Finals week | 2 hours | 40% | | ||
+ | | Class participation| Weekly in tutorial | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **The essay is due on September 9, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. both online and in hard copy.** We will post a supplemental reading and instructions for the essay several weeks before the deadline. Basically what we want you to do is to consider key claim made by many anthropologists: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The final examination will consist of a series of different kinds of questions, some of which ask you to demonstrate your understanding of key ideas from the class, and others which ask you to synthesize the different ideas and arguments we have read in terms of unifying themes. It will be held at the designated time and place for this unit's final exam. We will announce more information about this toward the end of the semester. As this is an exam, if you are ill or otherwise unable to attend the scheduled time, you will have to sit a different exam. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Every week, we will post a question for discussion on Blackboard. You submit a response online only.** These are not graded assignments. We will not be checking if you have the right answer, because in fact, these questions are debatable and every person could answer them in their own way. Instead you will receive one point for submitting a good faith effort on time each week. A good faith effort is something that shows you've done the reading, thought about it, and written something in complete sentences. You only need to write about 50-100 words. These are not meant to be tests. They are opportunities for you to reflect on your own ideas and get ready to talk about your own ideas in tutorial. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your grade is based on how many you submit. You must do at least 10. If you submit 9 out of 10, you get a 90% times 10% or nine marks out of 100 of the final mark. If you submit more than 10, you will only get 10/10 or 100%. Your tutor will give you guidance on how to do this assignment. Each week, tutors will send a digest email summarizing all the different opinions and give general advice. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, your tutor will be noting your **class participation**, | ||
+ | For all of your work for this class, especially the essay and weekly writing assignments, | ||
