Grades are managed in Canvas. You should be able to see your current grade at any given time based on the assignments that have been turned in and evaluated.

This class has several components:

Class Attendance / Participation (3 dropped) 20%
Readings (3 dropped) 20%
Professional Development 20%
Capstone Project 40%

As the class progresses I reserve the option to alter the percentages to reflect the way the class unfolds.

This class is a lot of work. There is a lot of reading, writing and you will have to manage many deadlines. You will also need to self-manage your progress on your major project.

My expectation is that for every hour in class you will spend three hours outside of class studying in different ways:

Reading the texts
Writing responses
Working on your major project
Preparing your professional materials and notes

Here are some things you will be learning:

Ethical issues arising from technology
How to transition to a post-college professional life
How to bring everything you've learned together into one capstone project

Letter grades will be assigned based on the table that is built into the Canvas gradebook (which has been customized for Prof. Patterson's classes)
