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 courseworks:
One positive and one negative aspect about the reading,
OR
Two questions about the reading.
The deadline for the post on courseworks is Wednesday at 11:59pm each week.
Posts will be graded with the following scale:
3 fulfills all requirements and shows critical thinking
2 fulfills all requirements
1 missing some requirements (e.g. did not post for all readings)
0 not submitted
The submission link will remain open until Thursday at 1pm.
Submissions received after 11:59pm on Thursday but before 1pm on Thursday (late posts) will lose one point. Submissions will not be accepted after the late period and will receive a grade of zero.
