This class has two essays and they are 1250 words each. The assignments are in the syllabus — if you don’t have that email me. To pass the class you gotta get me these two papers by May 14. The good news is you probably did one! So there is only one left.
Commenting on the blog is participation so do that.
There is advice for doing well on these essays in the syllabus so I recommend you read it.
I recommend you make this class CREDIT / NO CREDIT (also known as PASS/FAIL).
One way to think about the rest of term is that 1250 words is about 5 pages. Two essays means that this class is asking for 10 pages total. But if you make the class CREDIT/NO CREDIT, meaning your only aim is to pass, a D- is a passing grade which is about 60%. 60% of 10 pages is 6 pages. This means if you give me 6 pages TOTAL you will scrape by and pass. If you declare the class CREDIT/NO CREDIT then the D- won’t show — the only thing that will show is PASS.
If you have questions about any of this ask in the comments or email me!
