Grading
Work for class will be graded as follows:

*Participation: 25% Includes active participation in class, daily writing exercises and online daily writing and comments. TWITTER AND FACEBOOK: You can IMPROVE your participation grade by tweeting about the class and the ideas you have learnt regularly. We will sign up for twitter accounts the second week of classes together. You have to use the hashtag #femtheory and send the tweet to me @adelinekoh adelinekoh so I can record your tweets for your participation grade. Tweeting regularly by engaging with ideas from the class (more than 3x a week) will boost your participation grade. (Tweeting about your breakfast, however, will not.) If you want credit for your tweets, please fill out the twitter form (link provided on the class blackboard site.) Join the FB FemTheory DOCC

*Peer Review Assignments 15% A large part of this class will be focused on training you to better edit and review each other’s work. You will be graded for completing your peer reviews and the quality of these reviews. Rubrics for writing good peer reviews will be provided.

*Twitter vs. Zombies game 5% We will play a game to familiarize the class on using Twitter in September. Game participation and a reflective essay later will be 5% of your total grade. Twitter vs. Zombies is a Twitter version of the “Human vs. Zombies” game. You can find out more about the game here. It’s a lot of fun ☺

*Feminist Wikipedia Editing Assignments 55% In place of a midterm and final paper for this course, you will be tasked with adding 500 words on Wikipedia on feminist theory topics over the semester. You will learn how to edit Wikipedia using appropriate sources and add feminist theory content to the site. This section of your grade (55%) will be further broken down into the following:
 * 20% Participation in Wikipedia assignments
 * 10% Participation in Wikipedia discussions in class
