GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| Research Paper (including draft, revision, and presentation, 12 pages) | For the research paper (c. 15 pages), you will explore a topic appropriate for the course chosen in consultation with me. Your paper should build on both primary and secondary sources, and in preparing it, I will guide you through the processes of preparing a first draft and revising that draft to produce a stronger final paper. You also will present this paper to the rest of the class for discussion. For these discussions, each of you will also review at least one of your colleagues’ papers, providing both a written review (for the author and for me) and an oral commentary during the discussion of her/his paper in class. The grade on this assignment will be determined by the strength of your analysis and research, the persuasiveness of your argument (including quality of writing), and the originality of your thought. | 35% |
| Interpretation of National socialist extermination policies | You one write seven-page essay assessing the strength and weaknesses of the "intentionalist" and "structuralist" interpretation of the Holocaust | 30% |
| Final Examination | You will select and analyze one or several primary sources discussed during the course, discussing its/their significance to understand Nazi racial policies. | 35% |

ACADEMIC HONESTY
As stated in the university catalog, any student who commits an act of academic
dishonesty will receive a failing grade on the work in which the dishonesty occurred.
In addition, acts of academic dishonesty, irrespective of the weight of the assignment,
may result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. Instances of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student
who is reported twice for academic dishonesty is subject to summary dismissal from
the University. In such a case, the Academic Council will then make a recommendation
to the President, who will make the final decision.
