Grading:
Grades will be determined on the following basis:
QUIZZES -- There will be ten quizzes covering the readings and class
discussions. Most Thursday classes will begin with a 15 minute quiz consisting
of multiple choice questions. Nine quiz grades will constitute 50% of the
final grade. One "unavoidable absence" from a quiz is provided
for. If all ten quizzes are taken, then the lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
There will be no make-ups given for quizzes.
MID-TERM -- An essay exam covering all class material will be given
on November 1. It will constitute 25% of the final grade.
FINAL -- An essay final exam covering material since the Mid- term
will constitute 25% of the final grade.
PROJECT -- You have the option of undertaking your own sociological
investigation and submitting a report of your findings in lieu of the final.
If you wish to exercise this option you must have your project topic approved
by November 4th. Project reports must be submitted by the last day of class.
