MIDTERM EXAMMid-term exam (10 questions including short and longer answers for a total of 100 points) is based on readings, lectures and on-site visits and will cover all topics up to that point. The exam includes short answers and short essays. Slides identification may be part of the exam.30%
FINAL EXAM Final exam (10 questions including short and longer answers for a total of 100 points) is based on the work done throughout the semester. 30%
TERM PAPER Term Paper. The term paper should not exceed 2,000 words. See the Term Paper Rubric for specifics on how to format and write the term paper. The term paper is handed in, hard copy, in class the same day of the Midterm. Term Papers handed in after the deadline or digitally via email will not be considered. The student chooses the topic of the term paper from a list of three topics given by the instructor at the beginning of the semester. 30%
PARTICIPATIONParticipation. Showing up for class or on time for the field visits grants the student a C in the final participation grade. To earn full participation the student has to actively participate. This means asking questions relevant to the issue at hand, answering when prompted by the professor, bringing into the discussion relevant points, experiences and whatever extra information generate further reflection on the topic discussed at the moment. Navigating under the radar (i.e. trying to stay invisible to the professor and to the rest of the class) is not a behavior that will help student gain full participation. 10%

-ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:

-ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:
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.
STUDENTS WITH LEARNING OR OTHER DISABILITIES
John Cabot University does not discriminate on the basis of disability or handicap. Students with approved accommodations must inform their professors at the beginning of the term. Please see the website for the complete policy.
