Discussion Questions/Observations:

NO TURNITIN.COM SUBMISSIONS

There are no direct points earned from turning in discussion questions/observations; however, this one of the factors assessed in determining students’ participation grades. Basically, these are assignments, so failure to participate by turning them in on time will result in a reduction of the participation grade. This goes to the issue of being consistently prepared for class.

Instructions:

· If you are absent from class these are the only types of assignments where you do not lose credit for failing to turn them in.

· Always read the homework and the activities at least once class ahead on the syllabus.

· These assignments must be typed, and are not accepted late. Handwritten discussion questions/observations earn zero credit. When the assignment is typed it demonstrates that it was prepared before class.

· If the discussion question/observation is over an article, click on the link under homework, read the article, and print a copy of the entire article.

· Type your discussion question and turn in the article and your discussion question/observation on the discussion day, stapled together in the upper left hand corner, with your discussion question/observation on top.

· Be prepared for a class discussion on the discussion day.

· I will not remind students to turn in these assignments. Simply leave them in one pile on a desk near the front of the room, and I will pick them up at the end of class.

· All other late or missing course work incurs a late penalty, as per the syllabus.

· If the discussion question/observation is over a video clip, then only the typed discussion question/observation is due on the discussion day.

· Discussion questions/observations need not be uploaded to TurnItIn.com.
