Grades
Grades are based on a point system.
In Class Assignments, Completion Checks, Tests, Projects, and Classroom Activities will make up your grades.
Each assignment will have a different point value, from 5 points to slightly over 100 points depending on the length, challenge, and substance of the assignment.
Grades Continued…
Completion checks are a bit like open-note quizzes and are usually 15 to 60 points, while tests are not open notes and usually around 80 to 100 points.
The total points available per assignment will usually be given to the students when the assignment is introduced.
