Note that Attendance & Participation can also affect your final grade.

I also reserve the right to make grade adjustments on the basis of demonstrable improvements in engagement and learning over the term, i.e., if you start the term slowly or by falling behind, but catch up or show substantial improvement, I may adjust your final grade to reflect this trajectory independent of any self-assessment.

You can track your progress towards completion of assignments via Moodle. I will credit assignments on a binary basis, with a 0 or 1 depending on whether you submitted an assignment (1) or not (0).

For your reference, there should be eight (8) assignments related to the Film Project and up to twenty (20) In-Class Writing assignments.
