Syllabus Questions
1.) The syllabus states please anticipate and plan to spend time each day working in this
class. Granted all students write at various speeds, how long do you anticipate each
student to work in this class each day to receive an A?
2.) Given most classes an A is a 92.5% and above (the syllabus states that an A is a 94%
and above), does this mean that grading is easier and more subjective to the skill set of
each student?
3.) After submitting a paper to blackboard, what is a reasonable time estimate on receiving a
grade for the submitted paper?
Concerns about Syllabus/Class
1.) I am very concerned about 94% and above being an A. Given Regents scholarship and
business honors academy requirements, I aim for an A in every class.
2.) In the Essay Projects portion of the syllabus, I was surprised to read that A 5 page paper
can, at best receive a B- [] A 7 page paper will be considered for an A. As a writer
that prefers quality over quantity, I felt quantity seemed stressed in the grading approach
of this class.
3.) As an avid user of ratemyprofessor.com I was initially frightened to see that the
Professor received a 2.5 overall rating. I was relieved to see that this was because only 2
disgruntled students had written reviews. After communicating via e-mail in regard to
my time restrictions, I felt relieved yet again by her empathy and understanding to make
this class work for me.
Ways to Make This a Successful Class
1.) I will participate each day for more than several hours.
2.) I will read the syllabus before each writing/reading in order to format correctly.
3.) I will communicate to the teacher if I have questions or concerns.
