The class is graded on a portfolio of class presentations (approximately 35%), a group final paper (approximately 60%) and peer review (approximately 5%). The grade is based on the whole portfolio. All material must be in English.
For class presentations, students will be expected to present multiple times through the semester, either singly or in groups. Group size must be approved by the lecturer.
The final 5% is peer review for all group work. At the end of the term, students will evaluate the contribution of his/her team members. The peer review requires you to behave in a responsible and respectful manner. If I deem a student to deviate from such behavior, I may overrule the peer review.
The grade awarded may not be appealed due to the nature of the assessments.
