Grades & Details



This is a one-credit mini-course, which means it has a lighter workload than "regular" courses.

The course requirements include three ongoing categories. Rather than build to a large project or paper at the end of the semester, the course is designed to create light but steady work throughout our time together.

Class Participation: 40% of final grade
Discussion Questions: 40% of final grade
Surveys: 10% of final grade

There is no final paper, project, or exam in this class.

Class Participation - This course is designed to offer space to share your questions, confusions, ideas, and experiences.

Discussion Questions - Every session, I ask you to submit four open-ended discussion questions.

Surveys - Throughout our time together, I will ask you to complete some short surveys. They help me get a sense of how you're feeling, and therefore what changes I should make to our course plans. They are never quizzes and any answer is fine.
