Presentations. Final Papers due
Grades
-Each
student will write
a research paper of 12+ pages. Everyone should have
a topic
and a working bibliography approved by 9/14 and at least part of the
first
draft must be turned in by 11/9. Final papers are due on 12/14.
Here are some guidelines
for doing research on China at IUP.
-There
are various readings for each week. Some of these are the books you
already
bought, many of them are articles or chapters from other books.
Everyone needs
to read the books. You don't actually have to do all the readings each
week,
although it would not actually kill you to do so.
-Each
of you will have to write at least two article reviews and serve as a
discussion leader on those two weeks. Being a discussion leader means
reading
everything for that week and being prepared to lead the discussion.
Article
reviews/ discussion leadership are worth 100 points and you can do
three of
them instead of two and drop the low grade.
-On
weeks you are not serving a discussion leader you can turn in a reading
reaction paper. These are worth up to 50 points, and you can write them
every
week if you would like. Points for reaction papers add up, so if you do
more
than 4 it should be easy to get full points on that part of your grade.
-Reaction
papers need to be posted to the on-line discussion thread by Friday
the
week
before the discussion. Everyone is encouraged to make comments on these
discussion threads. If you make a good comment, meaning one that really
says
something, you get 15 points. 20 points if you point out an error in
one of my
posts. To get points for a post it needs to actually say something
substantive
about the reading or the reaction paper. Saying "I agree" is very
polite but does not get us anywhere. Pointing out an error (politely),
adding
additional information from your paper research or somewhere else,
suggesting
an interesting question that is raised from the reading, answering
someone
else's question, all of these are ways to make a good post.
-The
way the course is set up it is really hard to get a bad grade if you
are
willing to do some work. Everyone should get full points for the
on-line
discussion and article review/discussion leadership which add up to a
quarter
of the grade.
Paper
- 400 pts
Contributing
to on-line discussion total of - 150 points possible
Article
reviews/discussion leadership - 100 pts each, total of 2 required, 3
possible
Weekly
reaction papers - 200 (50 points each)
Final
oral presentation - 50 points
900+points =

800-899 = B
700-799 = C
600-699 = D
0-599 = F
INTASC standards
In addition to your grades, those of you
in Social Studies Ed will also be assessed on your mastery of the
INTASC standards. I will assess 2 of your assignments and record (on a
special web page in URSA provided for this purpose) if you have not
met, met or exceeded expectations for the two assingments. I will
consider a grade of C or less to be not meeting the standard, B to be
meeting it, and A exceeding. These assesments will not effect your GPA,
your graduation or your certification.
Course objectives
1. Students will learn some history
2. Students will improve their research and writing skills.
