PRESENCE
Your full presence (not just your “attendance”) is required at every class. This means that you must be fully actively engaged with the class at all times. Your presence will be measured by your *thoughtful* responses on notecards to be turned in every day (or almost everyday) in class.
ON-LINE QUIZZES (on K-State Online) – The on-line quizzes must be completed each Tuesday by 11:59 pm unless otherwise indicated. They will always be over that week’s readings (including the readings for the Wednesday after the quiz is due). The readings form an important part of the storyline of the course. This class moves through over 40,000 years of human existence and jumps all over this world which is 25,000 miles around in an any one of the infinite directions you might wish to travel and we only have 17 weeks. So hold on, and please keep up with the readings. The points for each quiz will vary from 10 to 30.
RESEARCH PROPOSAL (Due October 4th)
The research proposal should be 500 words and include the following (150 to 200 words for each section)
1. Analysis of Previous Literature on Subject (not just a review, but an analysis)
2. A proposal for how your group will do the field research, outlining the role you think you would be best suited to take
3. A vision for how you imagine the final product will look
Much of this will be brainstormed and talked about in your discussion class, but each student is responsible for writing their own proposal.
GROUP PARTICIPATION
This grade measures your participation in your recitation, and especially your work on the group project. Your classmates in your recitation will anonymously submit their evaluation of your participation. These evaluations will be used by the TA to assign your group participation score.
SCRIPT FOR FINAL PROJECT (Due November 9th)
Each student must write a final script for the project. The script should be a detailed second-by-second script of both the audio and visual elements of the final video, along with an explanation or justification for the way you have chosen to tell the story and the elements you have chosen to include. 100 points. Graded by TA.
FINAL GROUP PROJECT: (Due November 21st)
The grade will be assigned by Professor Wesch, based on how well the project fulfills the 7 elements of good storytelling and an assessment of the quality of the research presented.
EXAMS - Each exam is worth 100 points (10% of your final grade for a total of 30%.)
MAKE-UP POLICY
Quizzes: If you missed the deadline for a quiz, you can type a 500 word summary of the articles for that week and turn it in to be graded. You will receive 1 point off for each week that it is late. The summary will be carefully graded, so 500 words does not automatically mean that you will receive full credit.
Attendance: Listen to the lecture on KSOL. Take notes and send the notes to your TA for attendance credit.
Exams: You must have a note that excuses your absence. This can be obtained from the Office of Student Life, provided you have a valid excuse. Beware that make-up exams are significantly more difficult than the in-class exams.
HONOR SYSTEM
Kansas State University has an Undergraduate Honor System based on personal integrity which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters that one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Undergraduate Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Undergraduate Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning.
A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge that applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by undergraduate students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation.
If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me in the first two weeks of the course.
