There are thousands of points available in
this course (plus a lot of possible extra credit). The
assignments are
intended to be interesting and not all that difficult. Some of
these I am trying in class for the first time. So I will talk a
bit about each of them when we meet, and I will also take into
consideration the experimental nature of some of these papers in your
grade for each assignment. The grading scale is
just below.

Important Considerations
- NOTE that proper grammar,
spelling and style are an inherent, and necessary, part of each
assignment in this course. You may wish to review the materials in Charlie's History Writing
Center.
- Remember that any course
assignment not submitted on time will be reduced by five points
per calendar day.
- Please feel free to use the services of The Writing Center at Loudoun.
Jeremy and his tutors can do great work helping you on any of your
writing assignments (and I offer extra credit for using the Writing
Center).
