IMPORTANT NOTE: For this course, you will be taking a 25-question final quiz and submitting a final essay based on one of your discussion boards (See Activity 4 ). This constitutes a small change to the Syllabus. All essays for this course account for 50% of your grade. Therefore, the grade for this final essay will be averaged in with the other two essays that you have submitted. In other words, your total essay grade will be based on 3 essays: Story Essay first draft, Story Essay second draft, and the Final essay.
