Evaluation & Class Participation
- Primary Source-based Papers 20% each (60% total)
- Castle/Cathedral Project and Presentation 40% (25% for project and
15% for presentation)
Without question you should be in class every day, ready to learn. Should
you fall ill, break your leg, or have another serious dilemma that prevents
your attendance, you are responsible for politely asking a classmate if
you can HAND-COPY their notes (do not forget to
say thank you!). Additionally, you should set up a time to go over missed
material with Dr. Myers at the earliest possible opportunity. Although
no portion of your course grade is allotted to participation, it is expected
of all Cornell students and, to be perfectly honest, the more you discuss
the information you are learning, the better you will learn it. Note:
All assignments must be completed for you to earn a passing grade in this
course.

to class materials. They will be due Monday 8 December and Monday 15
December respectively. No late papers will be accepted.

yours if you participate in a group discussion of the Foreward of Medieval
Women on the afternoon of Friday 12 December.
