Grades & Feedback

English 127
Research Writing



You will receive individualized feedback and letter grades only on the final drafts of your major essays.  You will also receive letter grades for your Peer Reviews and for your final Course and Self-Assessment.  Refer to the Syllabus page to determine how much each major assignment is worth (e.g, the Background Essay is worth 20%) and what various letter grades correspond to (e.g., a B+ translates to 3.3).  See the Forum page for an explanation of how you accumulate points for your informal writing assignments, reading responses, exploratory or preparatory writing, and partial drafts, all of which will be submitted in Discussion Forums.  Again, remember that you get full credit simply for doing the forum assignments on time (and as long as they are complete).  I read through the class's forum postings, but I cannot comment on each individual posting.
