There is no exam in this course. Your final grade is based around participation and performance in regular quizzes, activities and course projects. Note that the final grade on your transcript for this course will be derived by converting your numerical course grade into a letter grade according to the Queen’s official conversion scale.

Quizzes

We will have 10 online, open-book quizzes on Moodle, covering the material in the readings. Quizzes may include multiple choice and short answer questions. Each quiz will be worth 2% of your final grade.

 Unlike traditional quizzes, the aim here is not to test your ability to memorize the material, but rather to get you to think more deeply about it. Thus, you are free to consult any sources you like during these quizzes. Each quiz will be due on a Sunday. You may complete a quiz any time before the deadline, but quizzes will close at 11:00 pm on the day they are due.

Activities and Projects

This course includes 6 discussion activities, each worth 5% of your final grade. In these activities, you will be asked to collect observations (e.g., find an example of greenwashing), share your work with the class, and discuss the results. Evaluation will be based on participation and the quality of your contributions to online discussion forums (~100 words each).

 The 2 projects in this course will involve written reports of ~1000 words each. These reports will be based on data collected by the class during weekly activities.

Due Dates

Deadlines in this course are final. Projects and activities must be uploaded to Moodle by 11:00 pm on the day they are due, and late work will not be accepted. If you think you have a legitimate reason for an extension, please contact the instructor with documentation well in advance of the due date.
