  Grading Policy:

• Academic Assessment in Credited Course Learning What Susan calls the 5 C's, or qualities we look for in grading. Please don't ask how much is enough, when it's good enough for an A, and such. No one can tell you when a term paper is long enough, when it is an A, or any such nonsense. You're not working for a grade. You're working to learn. And this file will give you extremely concrete details on how to do that. And you don't usually know if you got an A on a term paper until you get it back. We think our system gives you much more detailed and accurate feedback. Use it.

• Authentication of Knowledge as Interdependent Forms to Guide Us Through Interactive Measures. articularly at the latent stage of learning, it's hard to tell someone what you've learned.
