13.3 NOTES OF ASSESSMENT
a. Participation in class meetings.
A large part of this course is built around discussion—working together to
critically analyze research papers. Students are requested to contribute the
class to help the lecturer learn. This will be assessed in attendance and ability
to participate in discussion.
b. Short paper
Students must present a short paper/ a preliminary analysis (3-5 pages)
reviewed from a journal paper/ a book chapter. The paper review is
performed on power point format. To help get discussion about class papers
going, students need to bring at least one written question on the article. In
addition, if students didn’t understand parts of the article, they need to add
written clarification questions. The short assessments will be graded √ of √–,
and will not receive substantial written comments.
c. Long paper
The long paper (10-15 pages) will be graded and returned with written
comments. To help students get a hang of the requirements of the assignment,
they will have an opportunity to re-write your first long assessment.Your final
paper will basically be a long version of an assessment (10-15 pages). The
papers with a high quality of academic article will be published in a book or
journal.
By the end of the second week, students will select a paper, drawing on a list
of papers given by the lecturer taken from a set of journals. By the end of the
fourth week, you’ll need to turn in a short assessment of the selected paper.
Your final paper will be an extended version of a long assessment the selected
paper. It will critically assess the paper, drawing on at least 2 other additional
research articles to evaluate the claims made by the authors.
14. COURSE POLICY
a. Students turn off all cell phones during the class,
b. Students are not allowed to do emailing, web browsing and other computer
activity during class unless this is part of the course assignments,
c. Students are required to hand in all assignments. Please contact the instructor in
advance if you need to skip a class, or cannot make a deadline. There will be no
d. make-up exams or homework without a documented medical excuse
e. Students have to do the work on time. Due dates are firm; attendance in class is
not optional. The highest possible letter grade for work handed in during the
first 24 hours after class will be a B. The lecturer will give comments and
suggestions on work turned in later than this, but you will receive no credit for
the assignment.
f. If students have a problem, give the lecturer sufficient time to help them. If they
have tried to do an assignment, but can’t seem to complete it, come to the
lecturer well before it’s due. If you are unable to come to a class, try to let the
lecturer know beforehand, or as soon as possible after class. Students’ reasons
for class absences need to be verifiable.
g. Students may work with other students, but the finished product must be the
student own. Working together is a big part of the in-class work; it is hoped that
this will extend outside of the classroom. However, for most assignments,
students’ written work must be their own.
