Participation (10 points) You have 10 possible points for class participation. Every time you speak in class, you get 2.5 points. You can also get 2.5 points by coming to see me during my office hours to talk over the class materials.

Week 7-8 forum Hidetora's journey of self-discovery Week 8-9 forum Week 9-10 forum Discussion Questions (10 points) Grading Rubric: The answers to the following should be typed (NOT handwritten) so that they can be used for class discussion. They will be turned in at the end of class (but feel free to write on them during the discussion). Indicate the question you are answering, but do NOT copy all of the question into your answer! To get full credit your answers to discussion questions: 1) will be typed and spell-checked, with few or no grammatical mistakes, typos, and missuse of words that might interfere with my understanding of your point. 2) will follow directions and answer the question/s. If I ask for a list, a list is fine. If I ask for a longer answer, make sure you present it in such a way that I can understand your argument. 3) will provide lines/page numbers for quotations that support your points. If you do not give me specific lines/page numbers (Shakespeare) or scenes (films) you will lose points!! Week 1: Showing up for the first class you get 30 points for free. Week 9 Week 10 |
