Hi, Pearl!
The CD Rom course requires 2 projects and 2 essay-tests. Project 1 is a 500 to 750 word essay discussing how effectively one of the course texts makes its arguments. It is due by the end of the course, but the recommended due date is the mid-point.
Project 2 is a second 500 to 750 word essay on the politics of education, in light of the issues raised by a second course text. Recommended due date is the end of the course.
The midterm and final will each consist of five essay questions. There are no quizzes. There are weekly reading assignments, but no formal checking-in to ensure they're done.
There is an option to turn in two additional Projects (both essays) if the student wishes to spread the grading over more items instead of having the entire grade determined by four entries.
Hope that helps!
