Sociology Of Religion Town Meeting Reviews

Because town meetings are not intended solely as a learning opportunity for the people assigned to them, it is important that presenters remember that they are accountable to you, the other students in the class. With that in mind, I have created an online response form where you can evaluate each presenters' presentation. In order to receive one extra credit point, you have to complete the entire checkbox portion of the form. If you want to receive two extra credit points, you must give written comments to at least three of the presenters. These forms must be completed by noon on the Saturday after the town meeting being evaluated. I will consider these comments when I grade the presenters and they will receive an anonymous summary of your rankings and comments with their grade.
