PASS/NO CREDIT:

Students may register for Pass/No Credit (P/NC).  Pass is based on attendance and participation only.  Students must be present for the entire workshop in order to receive a pass grade.  This means that students cannot come late or leave early and still receive credit. ROLL WILL BE TAKEN SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WORKSHOP.NOTE: Check the current Winona State University undergraduate or graduate catalogue for specific information regarding the P/NC grade option.  Students must specifically indicate the P/NC option at the time of registration. Otherwise they will be registered for a letter grade which requires a typed paper.

LETTER GRADE:

If a student enrolls in a workshop for the letter grade option (A, B, C, D, F) their grade will be based on attendance and participation as well as one of the following:

Undergraduate Credit: Students seeking undergraduate credit must prepare and submit a paper that synthesizes the workshop content.  The paper must also include the student’s own personal reaction/critique of the workshop.  All papers are to be four to eight pages in length and must be typed using a double space format.  NOTE: a simple summary/outline of workshop notes will not be sufficient for this assignment.

Graduate Credit: Students seeking graduate credit must prepare and submit a paper that applies workshop content and processes to their professional and/or personal life.  All papers are to be four to eight pages in length and must be typed using a double space format.  Papers must include the following points:

1)   A brief (one or two paragraph) summary of the workshop

2)   What were the main points of the workshop?

3)   New information/perspectives gained as a result of the workshop

4)   Points of view that the student agrees or disagrees with

5)   Specific ideas as to how information gained from the workshop could be applied to

       the student’s personal and/or professional life

GRADING:

Grades will be assigned on the basis of (1) relevance to the assigned topic (2) organization, coherence, and overall quality of the writer’s work and 3) workshop attendance and participation.  Final grades will be reported at the end of the semester.

DUE DATE/RETURN OF PAPERS: Information regarding submission of papers and due dates will be provided by the workshop instructor or the workshop administrator prior to the scheduled start of the workshop.  Students are requested to provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope along with their paper if they wish to have their paper returned to them.  This will ensure prompt return of papers to students.

WORKSHOP ONLY:

Students may register for Workshop Only.  Workshop participants will be billed at the rate of $125.00 per workshop.  Students who select this registration option will not receive a grade for the workshop.  Students selecting this option may earn 13 continuing education contact hours.  A certificate of completion will be provided upon request.
