Participation grades ("writing")

As the syllabus explains, there is a second 10% participation score that belongs to your writing grade. (Along with the 3 essays.)

There are three sub-categories here: discovery tasks, drafts, and peer review.

I'm giving an "A" for discovery task to anyone who submitted a reasonable effort at both of them. "C" if you missed one, "F" if you missed both. Reasonable effort means basically that you answered each question and didn't submit a blank document to EEE. I mean, I'm sure you didn't, but as Ronald Reagan said (somewhat nonsensically), "trust but verify."

For the drafts, you get an "A" if you submitted an ideas draft and a working draft for each of the three papers. One letter grade down for each one missed.

For the peer reviews, the default grade was A. There was one for paper #4 and two for paper #6. Turning in one of those three was a D+, turning in two of them was a B-. (I'm giving you a pass if your partner never submitted a draft.)

So I took those three sub-grades and averaged them together, basically. 13 of you were straight As for this across the board. One A-, one B, one C-, one D+, one D.
