1. Evaluation and Feedback

Evaluation is conceived mainly as formative; and feedback will be provided all throughout the course. There will be plenty of opportunities to experiment, try, fail, and receive formative feedback in
advance of and separate from summative evaluation. As this is a process-oriented writing, research, and presentation course, you will be evaluated on your whole writing, research, and presentation
process and not only on the final writing product. So, your understanding of the readings, your preliminary drafts, class participation, preparation for meetings, discussions, presentations, and your portfolio,
together with the final writing paper, will be major components of the evaluation. So, writing a passing thesis is not enough to pass the course. Late work, unsatisfactory preliminary drafts, poor presentations,
lack of participation in the course meetings, or missed appointments can result in a low final grade.
2. Class Participation
You are expected to actively participate in every class with a positive attitude and to treat your classmates and instructor with respect. You are expected to get actively involved with the activities,
to critically analyze the proposed problems and situations, to actively participate in small group discussions, to contribute your analysis to the whole class, and to complete all reading and written
assignments. You will also conduct oral presentations throughout the course. You must compile a portfolio with all the drafts, notes about the texts read, feedback, research proposal, class activities,
literature review, the course outline, and any written work done for the project such as outlines, book reviews, etc. You need to bring your portfolio to every session
3. Thesis Presentation
The objective of this presentation is to explain your work. You will have to summarize the thesis problem, its major objectives, the content, methodology, significance, results, and conclusions. You need
to be prepared to answer a broad array of questions about your project. It is helpful to the audience if you use visual presentation tools. You may NOT read your paper or notes.
