Weekly Posts
Each week
there will be reading assignments posted on the course website.
The readings
will be from the Jurafsky & Martin textbook or from
conference and journal articles related to the weekly course topic. Readings
are required unless marked as optional.
For each
required reading, students should post on
One
positive and one negative aspect about each of the readings (for each
chapter/article, both the positive and the negative must be explained in
several sentences)
For some weeks, you
will be asked to find a new, fairly recent article on the topic, provide its
location, abstract and full bibliographical entry, and explain why you think
this would be a good article to add to the readings for next year.
The deadline
for the post on courseworks is Monday at 11:59am each week.
Posts
will be graded with the following scale:
4 exceeds
expectations
3
fulfills all requirements and shows
critical thinking
2 missing
some requirements (e.g. did not post for all readings)
1 very sketchy
0 not
submitted
The
submission link will remain open until Tuesday at 3pm.
Submissions
received after 11:59am on Monday but before 3pm on Tuesday (late posts) will
lose one point. Submissions will not be accepted after the late period
and will receive a grade of zero.
