CRITERIA FOR GRADE DETERMINATION
Class Attendance and Participation Policies
Mandatory Attendance: Class attendance is required. Accumulated unexcused absences will result in a lower grade and may lead to being dropped from the course. Prior notification is required for absences, except in emergencies.
Active Participation: Participation is essential. Students are expected to contribute to class discussions and activities by sharing their viewpoints, comments, and questions.
Engagement in Classroom Experiments: Active participation in classroom experiments is crucial for generating valuable insights and making the activities meaningful.
Weekly Quizzes: Quizzes will be administered weekly at the end of class, based on reading assignments and topics covered during the sessions.
Evaluation Principles for Assignments:
Attractiveness and Evaluative Model: Assignments and projects will be assessed using the
S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework (Heath & Heath, 2007). This framework, which will be thoroughly explained in class, is designed to enhance the memorability, appeal, and persuasive impact of your ideas.
Timeliness and Integrity: Assignments must be submitted on time according to the deadlines set by the instructor. Plagiarism, fabrication, unauthorized use of artificial intelligence technologies,
outsourcing assignments to third parties, or any other form of dishonesty is prohibited [see section 8 for more information].
Individual Assignments / Projects:
Students will regularly complete individual assignments provided by the instructor. These can be
submitted either at the end of the class or at the beginning of the next class. Individual assignments include writing short essays, analyzing case studies, and creating mind maps on the topics and issues discussed during lectures. Paying attention to the lecture is crucial for success.
Group-assignments:
Group activities include laboratory projects, case-study analyses, oral presentations, computer simulations, post-project evaluations, field experiments and group-study assignments.
Examinations:
Details, expectations, and formats will be provided prior to the examination. Exams may include a mix of open-ended questionnaire, brief essay prompts, and case study analyses. The purpose of
these examinations is to assess your command of the material covered in a particular unit (through short-answer questions) and your ability to synthesize concepts into an evidence-based argument (through the essay prompts).
Grade Appeal:
Students and faculty at Temple University have the right to a fair adjudication of grievances
concerning academic matters. Students are encouraged to discuss any grading issues with their
instructor or relevant Program Coordinator first. If the student and instructor cannot come to a
mutually agreeable resolution, more information about the academic grievance process is available at: https://www.tuj.ac.jp/policies/academic-grievance.
