To
calculate your grade, average the above point values per letter grade. Your research
project grade(s) will be counted twice, and each of the others scores will be
averaged in once.
| You will be able to
complete an optional project to replace the lowest formal essay grade. This project
should be a formal essay on either The Monk or Frankenstein due
on the day of our final exam. (Do not steal time from your research paper for
this!)Your essay needs to have a clear thesis statement and topic sentences
to guide the body essay paragraphs.The purpose of the optional third essay is
to allow you to learn from any difficulties you've had on prior essays and apply
the skills you've learned. |
