GRADING POLICY
-ASSESSMENT METHODS:
| Assignment | Guidelines | Weight |
| PARTICIPATION | 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% |
| MIDTERM EXAM | | 30% |
| | Mid-term exam (5 to 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. | |
| FINAL EXAM | Final exam (5 to 10 questions including short and longer answers for a total of 100 points) is based on the work done from midterm to the last class.
| 30% |
| TERM PAPER | The term paper asks the student to write about the cultural shock (if any) of living in Rome. The paper should not exceed 2,000 words. See the Term Paper Rubric for specifics on how to format and write the term paper. | 30% |

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.
