Grades in English 200 will be computed by points, with 400 points equaling a 4.0, 300 points a 3.0, and so on. If your total falls between grades, I will round up if you score one to five points below the higher grade and round down if you score one to four points above the lower grade. For example, 274 points equals a 2.7 and 275 points a 2.8. Students who score less than 65 points total will receive a 0 for the course, as the UW grading system does not scale grades lower than .7.
Each component of the course is worth the following number of points:
- Class Participation: 60 points
- Class Preparation Assignments: 80 points
- Essays: 220 points
- Presentation: 40 points
Class preparation activities will receive points on a credit/no-credit basis, with full marks awarded to responses that demonstrate genuine engagement with the assigned task. I will evaluate the presentation and essays according to following standards:
