Evaluation



You will be evaluated in class based on individual assignments. For example, I will ask you to turn in drafts of your work or give participation grades for your efforts.

In addition, you will be evaluated as a group on your newscast presentation. This will be a project grade weighted as a test. You will also be given a test.

The rubric below shows how your group will be evaluated for the newscast.
