Critical CommentariesThese small assignments ask you to provide critical commentary on the readings in response to structured questions. Ten questions are provided. During the course of the quarter you must respond to FIVE of the ten questions. Each response should be roughly 3-4 paragraphs long (1-1.5 double-spaced pages MAX).
+Commentaries will be graded as follows:+0 = not turned in
1 = poor (makes an attempt, but not engaging reading very well)
2 = fair/good (engages reading, but primarily descriptive)
3 = very good/excellent (engages reading in an analytical/critical way)
Recommendations:
- Weighted categories, weighted items. There should be equal weighting within categories to allow drop the lowest. For those assignments not turned in, the instructor will need to enter a zero since some students may turn in only 5.
