Click the individual assignments for assignment descriptions, requirements, extra credit opportunities, and assignment directions. The course will adhere to St. Mary's University grading scale: St. Mary's Grade Policies
Monday: All Flipgrid reflections for the week
Wednesday: Flipgrid responses for the week + Class + Active Participation Survey
Friday: Discussion Board for the week.
Flipgrid: To get the most out of these assignments, I ask that you submit them by Monday evenings each week so that your peers and I have time to listen, reflect, and respond. If you are in a pinch, you may submit your reflections anytime before class on Wednesdays. However, if everyone submits their reflections on Wednesdays, we all lose the opportunity to listen and engage.
Discussion Board Assignments: Discussion Board assignments can be done at any time during the week, but must be complete by Friday evenings. Late assignments may not receive full credit.
Final project components: These may be submitted late but may not receive detailed feedback from me. The deadline for the final project submission is firm.
If you are struggling to keep up, I encourage you to reach out to talk. This is going to be a difficult semester for many of us, and it's easy to fall behind. Please reach out before this builds up so much that it will be hard to catch up. I'm always willing to work with you to find a solution.
**Are you an IGS major taking this course for an Advanced History Elective? Be sure to include an international/global component to your final project. Dr. Wieck is happy to brainstorm with you!
Attendance Policy Fall 2021 is a weird time. Your health and your family's health are far more important than this class. I hope you'll be able to join us in class each week, but if you need to miss, I'll make all efforts to provide a recorded version of this course. If you do miss class, you'll be able to email me 3 take-aways from class after watching the recording. After you do this, you can still fill out your Active Participation Survey for the week. I will also connected our Meeting Owl so that you may join virtually if you are sick, quarantining, or just not comfortable coming to class. You may miss up to two classes without penalty.

I take the university Honor Code very seriously, and I expect the same from you. Please make sure you are familiar with the guidelines regarding academic honesty, plagiarism, cheating, etc. The graded work you do in this class must be your own. In the case where you collaborate with other students make sure to fairly attribute their contribution to your project. Be sure to cite your sources to avoid issues of plagiarism and dishonesty. See me immediately if you have questions or doubts about what constitutes academic dishonesty, especially plagiarism. If an assignment is plagiarized in part or in full, the student receives a failing grade on that assignment and the incident will be reported to the Dean of the School of CAHSS.
