The Lighter Side

Writing, thinking and class participation (more than mere attendance) are critical elements of this class. Please remember that (just as in the real-world media) timeliness counts; late assignments will automatically lose credit. Your grades will be based on these elements:

• Short assignments - all together 15% of grade
• Analysis paper ("The Insider") - (3-5 pages) - 20% of grade
• Analysis project ("Internet Credibility") (5 pages) - 20% of grade
• Final exam paper (5-7 pages) - 40% of grade
• Attendance & participation - 5% of grade

  Note: Students missing more than three classes will experience an automatic grade reduction.
