Assignments and Grades

Assignment Descriptions

Every two weeks you'll do four assignments for each learning module:

Appetizer: Engage your historical sources for the week by explaining how one source relates to one item in the news. 20% of the module grade. Posted to our Weekly Appetizer Discussion Board.
1st Plate: The major history project you'll complete for the week using historical sources and digital tools. 30% of the module grade.
2nd Plate: A major improvement or extension of your 1st Plate with new material from the second week of the teaching module. 30% of the module grade.
Dessert: A paragraph of writing reflecting on what you learned from the week's assignment and from your fellow classmates. 20% of the module grade.

Overall Grades Weights

The first three weeks and last two weeks have 20% and 15% total weight of your grade. All the other modules (two weeks of assignments) are worth 10% of your total grade.

Late assignments and grade drops.

Late work is not accepted nor are extensions offered except in the case of hospitalization or deployment.

Instead, two weeks of assignments are automatically dropped, much like jobs offer paid time off. I drop assignments by curving the class 12%. The final grades look like this:
