I am a relatively tough grader, largely because I take sociology seriously and want you to as well.\u00a0 Furthermore, this is an upper-division course.\u00a0 You have many avenues for learning, and I expect you to take advantage of them.\u00a0 Different students will do this differently; the course gives you the freedom to do that.\u00a0 But I do reward quality in the final grades.<\/p>\n

<\/a>My Grading Standards:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u2014 (4.0)\u00a0 \u00a0You did everything I could possibly ask of you, and you did it extremely well.\u00a0 You challenged yourself, learned a great deal, and showed conspicuous intelligence.\u00a0 The quality of your work was excellent.<\/p>\n

B \u2014 (3.0)\u00a0 \u00a0You did all the work, and you did it well.\u00a0 You worked hard and learned a good deal.\u00a0 The quality of your work was good.<\/p>\n

C \u2014 (2.0)\u00a0 \u00a0You did all or almost all of the work.\u00a0 It is clear that you learned a number of things, though those things may not hang together in a systematic and critical understanding of the course material.\u00a0 The quality of your work was adequate.<\/p>\n

D\u00a0 \u2014 (1.0)\u00a0 \u00a0You did most of the work.\u00a0 You may have learned some things, but it is not clear that you learned anything important.\u00a0 The quality of your work was less than adequate.<\/p>\n

F \u2014 (0.0)\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 You did not complete the course\u00a0requirements at the level expected of college\u00a0students in this subject area.<\/p>\n

(Grades of x.3 and x.7 demonstrate levels\u00a0<\/em>of work between these major standards.)<\/em><\/p>\n
