Please respond to the topic in the discussion board regarding changing our schedule. I would like to hear from all of you. Here is the link to respond.

The proposal for a change to our schedule/grading:

You all have been doing so much writing and on the survey, you indicated an interest in a lot of topics. Therefore, I propose these two major changes:

1. Get rid of the Midterm/Final Combined paper and just have you do a short answer/essay final where I would give you questions similar to the midterm and you would answer them, but you wouldn’t have to make it in a paper form.
2. Adjust the schedule to account for that, which means we could cover a few more topics on which you would do a snapshot and response.

This would change the grading slightly. Your current grade breakdown is:

• Snapshots and Responses 50% of grade
• Midterm 20% of grade
• Final 20% of grade
• Midterm/Final Combined 10% of grade

There are 11 Snapshots & 11 Responses: 9 of each = A; 7 of each= B; 6 of each= C; 5 or fewer of each = D

If we change the schedule, this will be the changed grade breakdown:

• Snapshots and Responses 60% of grade
• Midterm 20% of grade
• Final 20% of grade

There will be 13 Snapshots & 13 Responses: 11 of each = A; 9 of each= B; 7 of each= C; 6 or fewer of each = D
