Make 101 Better through Public Policy Make 101 Better through Public Policy The reason I am giving the 101 society this opportunity is to help all students improve their skills and knowledge. This public interest should be the goal of your actions today, not your selfish private interests.
KEEP IN MIND KEEP IN MIND If either Option B or C is chosen, students who would be better off with Option A will receive the grade designated under Option A. The Class Decision Can Only Help You! You! Can Only Help
Rules For The Grading Exercise Rules For The Grading Exercise The final policy must be selected from one of the three proposals. Grading policy must be unanimously agreed upon OR OR there must be a unanimous agreement on a voting procedure to reach a decision on the grading policy. Therefore, every student has veto power. Final vote will be a secret ballot. Each speaker must turn their mic on to speak and be given courteous attention for no more than 30 seconds. Any disorder will result in a 60 second period of silence. Decision must be reached by 1:30 Decision must be reached by 1:30 p.m Option A remains. Option A remains. p.m or or
