Course Grading

There will be two Examinations over the course of the semester, each worth 45% of your final grade. Each of the Examinations will be worth 100 points. 70% of the score will be based on objective questions (identification, short-answer, matching), and 30% will be based on the essay question. Each examination will focus primarily on material covered since the previous exam, but not completely.

The last 10% of your final grade will come from your Written Project, a "position piece" in which you express your view of the United States's future based on what you have learned in the course. Your grades on the examinations and the written project will be posted on Blackboard, so it is essential that you register. If you have any questions about a grade you received or about the grading of your work in general, please bring it to the instructor's attention as soon as possible.
