Pop Quizzes and Grading
I may decide to do a pop quiz, or two or three, during the course of this class. I do that because I want you to come to class as much as possible, I want you to do the readings I assign, and I want you to go through the videos I assign you for the two classes that will be individual videos.
Quizzes won’t be hard. I might for example put three slides on the projector and ask you to identify the one of the three that was included in the online videos. I might ask you to write a paragraph related to a reading or one of the videos.
Quizzes don’t directly affect your grade unless they make it obvious that you haven’t done the reading or watched the videos I assigned. And if you miss a quiz, you can’t make it up; but don’t worry, if you jut had bad luck, you were sick that day or had an important job interview, missing a quiz won’t hurt your grade when everything else is fine.
