EVALUATION 2013

KEEP COPIES OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT EMAILS

“TEST” INFORMATION• For the tests you are expected to be familiar both with the readings and the lecture material. If you miss a class, please get the notes from another student. (Note: these are less like exams and more like personal, analytical response papers - but that is a bit unwieldy to keep writing, so “test” serves as a convenient shorthand.)

• Tests are concerned with applied knowledge. There will be no slide reviews for this class; You will discuss what you know with reference to lecture material (including terms and names) and textbook readings.

• Tests are take-home assignments and will be posted in the Materials section of the course website.

• For the first test, you are responsible for material covered up to the end of class on October 1, 2013; for the second test, up to November 5, 2013. The final test will be a cumulative analytical response.

• Please note, however, that images and information used to frame the tests may not necessarily come from a period that has been covered in class. Any necessary information will be provided in the assignment.

• For the tests, further research should not be necessary (this will depend on the state of your class notes), if you do use outside information, it should be cited correctly (any format is fine; I usually use APA).

• A good length to aim for is about 1,000 words. But in general it is better to go deep (be thorough & methodical in your answers) rather than long (i.e. don’t just provide a lot of superficial description).

SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS• Submit your writing (including tests & presentation materials) to me by email at: ddudley@uvic.ca Please use a separate email for each assignment, and separate emails for any other discussion you wish to have with me.

• Subject line of email message MUST read: HA223 AssignmentName

• Attachment (assignment) name MUST read: YourNameAssignment (as per assignment requirements) for example: DennineDTest1.doc

• Marks will be deducted for incorrectly titled assignments. Please also put your name somewhere in the text of your assignment. Title pages are unnecessary and will not be included in word count.

• Please use the following format for written work: Word 2011 or older (preferable: .doc or .docx). (Presentation submission requirements will be provided separately.) You may use your preferred software to write, and then convert the submitted version. Staff in any of the computer labs on campus can help with conversion issues. It may be necessary for you to change formats due to individual conversion issues.

• Assignments MUST be submitted as attachments. NO LINKS. If you are using Google Docs or SkyDrive, download the copy to your desktop and then attach it to the email.

• The email your assignment is sent from is the address it will be returned to. UVic accounts are STRONGLY recommended. Hotmail is not recommended; it doesn’t like to talk to the university, just FYI.

• If you have any questions about the feedback, please make an appointment to see me.

• It is unlikely that presentations can be rescheduled. Late papers are accepted but will be penalized. No papers will be accepted after December 13, 2013.

• NOTE: all of these submission requirements have been worked out over several years so as to be able to provide private, returnable feedback, the ability to count and track assignments, and to streamline workflow.
