: POLS 001 or instructor 's consent.By design this course counts as a political-theory course for undergraduate Politics majors and minors , and as an elective for non-majors or non-minors interested in taking it . Findings show that , with the exception of grading , approximately one-fourth to 40 percent of students did expect , at the beginning of the semester , that the instructor 's race / ethnicity would influence the previously mentioned items . However , at the end of the semester , with the exception of grading , the proportion of students who actually thought the instructor 's race / ethnicity did make a difference had declined substantially . Most of the students are intrigued by the physical smart classroom setup and they make quite often comments about the quality of the video and audio streams , and also the instructor 's handling of the technology . Most of the background material is assumed known ; the little of it that is not known already can be learned without the instructor 's help . The instructors designed a before-and-after survey as a crude measure of student change between the expected influence of the instructor 's race / ethnicity at the beginning of the semester on grading , course content , teaching methodology , and pedagogy and the actual perception of this influence at the end of the semester . According to Senate Policy 47-20 , grades are based on the instructor 's judgment of a student 's scholastic achievement ( see Grades and Grade-Point Average ) .
