INSTRUCTOR ADDENDUM

EVALUATION:
Your grade for this course will be based on six components.

1. WRITING ASSIGNMENTS:
Throughout the course I will post assignments in Desire to Learn (D2L) online website for the course to facilitate your learning and to prepare for class discussion. If you complete the assignment before the appropriate class, you are eligible to receive full credit for the assignment. If you complete the assignment late, but before the next test, you can earn only up to ½ credit. If you do not complete the assignment before the test on the relevant lesson, you will get no credit for that assignment. In any case, assignments will be graded in terms of content and quality.

2. CLASS PARTICIPATION:
The lectures and discussion that take place in class are an important part of your learning experience. Most students cannot learn history from reading a textbook alone. Therefore, regular attendance in class is a critical element to success in this course. The participation part of your grade is determined by how many classes you attend and your role in the class. I expect you to come to class prepared to discuss the topic listed on the course calendar, to contribute information when asked, and to ask questions about what you did not understand in your reading assignment.

3. TESTS:
You will have three tests during the course. Each test will consist of matching and multiple choice questions from the geography, definition, identification, and study questions on the study guides provided in D2L. You will also write a short essay during each test. I will give you 3 topics for review before the test. I will choose 2 of these topics for the test; you can choose which of the 2 topics on the test on which you will write your essay.

4. RESEARCH PROJECT:
For your research project you will choose a topic from a list provided by your instructor relating to a turning point in world history before 1500. You must use at least 4 research sources for your paper. Your research must include more both internet and library sources (reference books, database articles, books, articles).  You must indicate the source of ALL your research information by a citation and complete information on the source on the works cited page using the Modern Language Association (MLA) format. You cannot use a paper written for another course. Your paper must be at least 5 pages in length.

6. FINAL EXAM:
The final exam will be comprehensive (over all the material covered in the semester) and will be similar in format to the tests with multiple choice section consisting of geography, matching, multiple choice questions, and an essay.

Grade Calculations:

NOTE:
There will no extra credit assignmentsto individuals to improve your grade. The Research Project, planned course assignments, out-of-class essays, and participation in class discussion will be your only opportunities to compensate for poor performance on tests.
