Course Outline, Grading and Participation Requirements |
| |
Course Outline: |
| |
|
List topics in the sequence they will be
covered. This list should include chapter numbers and titles
from your tests, date(s) topics will be covered, etc. Course
outlines should include due dates for major assignments and
exams and must provide the time and date of the final exam. |
| |
Assigned points or percentages of
required work: |
| |
|
The syllabus should list what work will
contribute to the student’s final grade and what percentage of
the final grade it will be. (for example: 3 exams @ 20% each—the
exams will be short answer, identification, and essay
questions). The syllabus should contain enough information about
each assignment that the student has a clear idea of the amount
of work expected of him/her (for example: 2 short papers, 3-5
pages in length @ 10% each). Assignments that will be grouped
together into one percentage can be listed as such (for example:
homework assignments and quizzes as assigned 10%). Assignments
or requirements that can be interpreted in various ways should
have a clear explanation -- e.g. class participation means
different things in different classes or what will a student
need to do to get credit for class participation in your class?

Grade categories |

Either points or percentages is required; both

| B |
80-89% |
480-539 points |

420-479 points |
| D |
