Assignment of Grades for Written Work
Written assignments will be graded according to the following distribution:
80%: Content (thoroughness of preparation, information, and content)
10%: Style (grammar, writing quality, clarity of writing at the sentence level)
10%: Presentation (organization, clarity of writing at the paper level)
What this means in practice is that if you do the work, but don’t organize your thoughts or write clearly, you will end with at most a B. However, you will not be given full credit for content if the lecturer cannot understand what you’re saying, so if you don’t write clearly, you will probably end up losing points on content as well.
Academic Dishonesty
As stated in the faculty Handbook, cheating, including plagiarism will not be tolerated. All written work, including paper summaries, must be your own work. If you wish to quote a source, you must do so explicitly, and with proper attribution. Any work that does not meet the requirements set out above will be treated as a violation of the academic honesty policy for the class, and dealt with accordingly.
The minimum penalty for a violation of the academic honesty policy is a zero on the assignment. Other penalties may include a letter grade reduction, failing the class, or, in extreme or repeated cases, dismissal from the program/college
