Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
Three pieces of graded work, each keyed to a specific stretch of the semester: the Field Case File to weeks 5–6’s on-campus cases, the Comparative Literature Review to weeks 7–9’s case corpus, and the Final Capstone to the method applied whole, on a case nobody in the course has observed. The three weights sum to 100.
