Your final grade for this course is figured out mathemathically. Add up your score on all assignments, speeches and tests and divide that by the total possible points you could have earned.
Total possible points: 570. Speeches were 100 each, group speech was 20, tests were 50 each. Missing more than 3 classes without a documented excused resulted in you losing half a letter grade (refer to your syllabus).
Test 3 will be on 4/21 if you are in a Tues/Thursday class OR on 4/24 if you are in a MWF class. The study guide is available for download
Available for download: Assignment and outline
Test 2 will be given on April 3rd 2009 for SPE 130-06 (MWF at 11:30) and on April 7th for SPE 130-02 and 03 (9:35 and 12:45 respectively)
Please be sure to bring any questions on the study guide to class or e-mail them to me. The test will be out of 50 points and is a mix of mutiple choice and short answer questions. All answers should be found in your notes fairly easily. Click on (Read More) for more information:

Next week we’ll talk about this assignment and you’ll have two full class periods to work on it. However what you’re learning in the library sessions this week will help you with this assignment as well as your informational and persuasive speeches.
I fully expect you to use what you’re being taught, to search for WORTHWHILE information, to address your problem, provide information and persuade your audience. I will grade you based on teh quality of your information.
Here’s the group speech: group-speech
