Communication for Executives (Spring 2005)

Specific grading rubrics will be given out with the final version of each assignment which explain the exact criteria for that specific assignment. In general, though, your assignments will be graded based on:

• how well you fulfill the specific criteria for the assignment
• how well you demonstrate an informed awareness of the context for writing and/or speaking
• how well you pay attention to audience, organization, structure, focus, and genre conventions
• how well you pay attention to style, tone, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage

If you have questions about your grade or about grading policies, please see the instructor after class or during office hours.

Grading Scale

Your grade will be computed by totalling all points that you receive on assignments as well as points for class participation. You can earn a maximum of 1000 points in this class. The thousand points will then be converted into a letter grade based on Niagara’s grading scale.
