If you select the essay alternative, this must be submitted at the School Office (39A-535) by 3pm on Friday 9 June. Note: Marking criteria for all assessment items can be found in the POLS1301 Assessment Appendix – which will be handed out at lectures and posted on Blackboard. Students should consult the marking criteria before submitting assessment items. ASSESSMENT DETAILS - TUTORIAL ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION Each week, to prepare for tutorials, you should: • Review relevant lecture notes; and • Read the assigned reading. All items assigned for tutorial reading are in the Course Reader and listed in the Tutorial Program (beginning on p.16 in this Course Profile). Students are expected to complete the assigned reading each week before attending tutorials. A tutorial attendance role will be kept by your tutor each week and marks will be assigned at rate of 1 mark per tutorial (max 10/10) for tutorials in weeks 3-12. The tutorials in Weeks 2 and 13 do not attract any attendance marks. If you are sick - or think you have a good reason for not being able to attend a tutorial - speak to your tutor. If you show a medical certificate you will be given the attendance marks as normal. Marks for tutorial participation will be allocated at the end of each tutorial in weeks 3-12; the tutorials in weeks 2 and 13 do not have any participation marks. One participation mark will be available for each of the tutorials in weeks 3-12 and to obtain this mark you need to make a ‘positive contribution’ to the tutorial discussion. By ‘positive contribution’ we mean thoughtful comments that are RELEVANT to the discussion AND which demonstrate both a knowledge and understanding of the required reading. If you have completed all the assigned reading for a tutorial, it is important to attempt to participate in the discussion (your tutor will facilitate this). You will be rewarded for sensible attempts at participation even if this is done imperfectly (eg nervously) and even if you are not 100% accurate. However, students who have not completed the assigned tutorial reading should refrain from participation in the discussion. Do not talk just for the sake of talking – or to make it look like you have done the tutorial reading (Your tutor will be able to tell the difference!). If you are unable to attend tutorials regularly OR if you are unable (or do not want) to participate in tutorial discussion, you should speak to your tutor who will set additional written work to be completed in place of attendance and/or participation. All additional written work must be completed at or before the POLS1301 Modern Political Ideologies Course Profile Semester One - 2006 Page # 6
