Required Components

Assignments
You are encouraged to develop original activities or short assignments that further the course objectives, but you must cover the following required components of the course:

• Resume and cover letter assignment
• Library tour (which you must arrange with a reference librarian)
• Midterm paper assignment (collected and graded by midterm conference, see below)
• Formal oral presentation assignment, with visual aids (you may need to contact Media Services to use Smart Room technology or to request equipment for presentations)
• Poster presentation
• Project Proposal or Journal Article assignment (15 to 25 pages, inclusive)

Conferences (a.k.a. Folder Review)
You must meet twice with the course coordinator during the term for "folder review":

• Midterm conference (to discuss the graded midterm papers).
  
• Final conference (to review final papers and establish final grades for the course).
  

While all grades are subject to departmental review, you are responsible for grading the papers for the course, and you should come to folder review with penciled grades on all papers. At this time, only the 312 Coordinator conducts folder review for 312. Sign up at 135 George Street (or call 732-932-8856) about a week before folder review begins, when schedules will be posted. Meet at Loree 006 with the 312 Coordinator at your scheduled time with papers and your grade book.
