Revised Syllabus Mexico 3 November 2015

Attendance: Now Mandatory -- 3rd unexcused absence results in loss of 1/2 of letter grade

All Discussion sets are now DUE DEC 18 (i know you guys said the 19th, but that isn't realistic given that i have two classes to grade).

Any past due discussion sets will need to be emailed and clearly labeled in the email -- too hard to keep track of otherwise!

Past discussion sets can be redone.

Field Trip materials are still open, so class participants are still able to complete that

Other course items such as the Map Quiz are still in place.

 

There are now TWO options:

OPTION A:

Complete all 18 discussion sets (two are combined in one of the links, so there are 17 links).

OPTION B:

Complete 13 of the 18 discussion sets and

EITHER

submit a 5 page, double spaced, 5 citation, 1-inch margins, 12 point times new roman font. This paper will be graded following the usual paper rubrics regarding content (thesis, examples, conclusion are clear) and organization. graphics do not count towards paper length

OR

Present a 5-minute presentation with 3-5 powerpoint slides and 5 citations. This will be recorded for grading purposes. The presentation will be graded based upon content (thesis, examples, conclusion), organization, and visual clarity. Keep in mind that it should be at least 550-600 words written.

Also, as you all noted in the community meeting, materials need to conform to quality norms expected in a 300-level UK A&S class.
