Course Assignments Written Participation Conduct in the Course Exams (2) Book Critique Term Paper 15 points 10 points 40 points 15 points 20 points 1 Grading So that there is no confusion, here are the criteria that I use when assigning letter grades on assignments, and for your final grade. 97.00 to 100.00 = A+ 93.00 to 96.99 = A 90.00 to 92.99 = A87.00 to 89.99 = B+ 83.00 to 86.99 = B 80.00 to 82.99 = B 77.00 to 79.99 = C+ 73.00 to 76.99 = C 70.00 to 72.99 = Cetc. 59.99 and below = F I will not divulge or discuss grades over email or telephone; please come to my office hours, or make an appointment to see me. I do not offer extra credit assignments. Assignments Conduct in the Course I expect you to act professionally - that is, to attend all classes, to complete required readings, and to participate actively in discussions. You are permitted three “free” absences. After those absences, unless you provide proof of a University-excused absence, 1 point will be deducted from the 10 points allotted to Conduct – this means that your total grade drops 1 point for each excess absence. If it becomes excessive, tardiness to class will be treated in the same way as an absence. As a courtesy to myself and to your classmates, please turn off all cell phones, beepers, and pagers before entering class. Taping of lectures is not permitted without prior permission of the instructor. Written Participation Most weeks there will be a short, in-class quiz based on the readings. This may take the form of a multiple-choice quiz, short essay, map question, or another format. These will be graded as 2 = outstanding effort, 1 = expected effort, 0 = unacceptable effort. A makeup will be given only in the case of an excused absence. Essay #1 - Critical Book Review You will write a 1500 word (4-5 page) review on a book of your choice concerning the Crusades. The book must be an academic work and may not be a basic textbook or history of the Crusades in general. These should be critical reviews, not book reports. While you should recap the subject of the book, the review should concentrate on the presentation and development of the thesis, use of evidence, and the contribution of the book. Essay #2 - Crusades Term Paper You will write a 10-12 page paper on a topic of your choice subject to my approval. 2 Exams There will be a two-day in-class midterm and a final exam. Both exams will have a mixture of question formats. There will be map segments on each exam, and your geographical knowledge will be tested in the other questions as well. Late Policy and Make-up Assignments All papers are due at the beginning of class. For the next seven days (e.g., Monday to Monday), you can submit the paper with a penalty of 10 points. After that, you have until the last day of class to submit the paper, but at a 50% penalty. There is no ‘broken printer’ allowance. Extensions on deadlines are at my discretion, and must be sought at least 48 hours before the paper deadline. If you miss an exam, a make-up exam will be administered only if you provide written proof of an excused absence. The exam will be rescheduled at my convenience. Other Course Policies Office Hours You can always find me in my office during my stated office hours. I frequently am in my office at other times; if the door is open, feel free to drop in. If you cannot make the normal office hours, you can also set up an appointment. The best way to get in touch with me, home or office, is by email, though it may take up to two days for me to get back to you. If you call my office, leave a voicemail with your name and number and I will get back to you. Please, do not call me at home. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the presentation (consciously or unconsciously) of someone else’s words or ideas as your own. Plagiarism is not limited to published works; it includes other students’ papers and web sites. You are certainly allowed to quote works by others (though use of such quotations should be minimal) when proper reference is given, but under no circumstances should you incorporate someone else’s work into your own without proper citation. If you refer to someone else’s idea, or paraphrase it, even if there is not a direct quote, you must cite where you found that information; unreferenced paraphrasing is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offence. If I detect plagiarism, the assignment will receive a 0 (the same as if you failed to turn in your work) and I will report you according to departmental and University policies. If you have any questions or concerns, please see me or the University Writing Center.
