GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| MIDTERM EXAM | Mid-term includes short and longer answers. Slides identification may be part of the exam.
Exam questions may or may not be weighted differently. Regardless, the totality of points for each exam is 100. 100 points equal to A. See the grade rubric to see number to letter grade equivalence.
Exams are based on readings, lectures and information delivered in class and during fieldwork. Exams are not cumulative. This means that the midterm covers information up to the week before the exam.
The professor returns the midterm and the term paper the session following the exams. If a student is absent and cannot get the midterm and term paper on that day, it is his\her responsibility to remind the professor to bring it back the next class.
| 30% |
| FINAL EXAM | Final follows the same format as the midterm (short and long answers) and is not cumulative. This means that exam questions are relative ott he material covered after the midterm. | 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% |
| PARTICIPATION | 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% |

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.
