TEXT:
Reading the text is your responsibility; the successful student in HI 152 will read the assigned chapter(s) before class time each week.  Instructor will enlarge upon concepts, answer questions, guide discussions of assignments.  Essay questions require you to know the material, then be able to synthesize into your own words and arguments.  There will be 10 weekly writing assignments, each worth 5 points.

EXPLANATION of how this class works:
CLASS ATTENDANCE:  If you attend each class, come on time, do not leave early, you will receive 1 point for the week.  This gives you 10 possible points.
EACH WEEK, beginning 10 April, there will be an essay assigned.. Each will require 1-2pp of written work (350-500 words).  You should be willing to share with class.
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS are due one week after assignment date; for each week, or fraction of a week, assignment comes in late, you lose 1 point.
EACH WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT will be given in print and in CANVAS.  Assignments consist of a question, or more (with a choice).  You write an essay of 350-500 words in response to the question.  INSTRUCTOR will consider:
a.	Restate question, or paraphrase in your first sentence,
b.	Does your essay suggest you understand the question? – 1 point,
c.	C.  Does your essay follow accepted format of
1.	 A topic sentence which restates the question in context?
2.	2-3-4 sentences to illustrate, argue, expand the question?
3.	A concluding sentence? - - - 2 points
d.	Do you use complete sentences? - - 1 point
e.	Does your essay address the question adequately?  - - 1 point
You will earn at least 1 point for submitting, and up to 5 points for doing a good job.  All 10 assignments may earn up to 50 points.
If you are ill, or have a personal issue, which makes you miss class, it is essential you notify Instructor via e-mail (not by text, please), ASAP.  Since assignments may not be made up, you will need to keep close tabs on progress through CANVAS Gradebook.
