Frequently Asked Questions

The video addresses questions that are not answered by the comments below.

Grading

My grade was a __ yesterday, why did it go down today?

Because I entered grades for something that either you did not turn in, or that you did not do well on.

How Can I Raise My Grade?

Make sure all of your assignments are complete.

Redo assignments that are available for redos.

When Will My late Work Be Graded?

When I have gotten through all of the assignments that were turned in on time.

Why are my Student Connect and Canvas grades different?

Canvas includes assignments, such as practice quizzes, that are not counted toward your final grade. Also, extra credit on Canvas is calculated like a normal assignment which actually makes your grade appear higher than it actually is. YOUR TRUE GRADE WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONE ON STUDENT CONNECT.

You can check for missing assignment and for individual assignment scores on Canvas.

I Didn't Get Credit For Something That I Turned In or I got a Zero.

Mistakes happen. Sometimes things get missed. If you turned in something, but don't have a grade check the following:

  • Check to see if I made a comment or sent you a message about the assignment.

  • Check to see if you actually submitted the assignment

  • Check to see if the assignment was submitted in the correct location in the correct manner.

Can I Talk To You About My Grade?

Yep. See me before or after school or during down-time in class and we can chat.
