This class works on the premise of Mastery Grading. With this policy, students will receive one of two grades for COMPLETED projects: 100% or no grade.
Mastery Grading allow students to have as much time as they need to successfully complete a project to the standards specified in the project guidelines. No points will be deducted for completed work that needs to get fixed. Rather, students will take feedback and make adjustments to their project. Once students complete their project while achieving all standards, they will be given a grade equivalent to 100% to reflect this.
Projects that are missing after one week of the due date will be marked as late and missing in PowerSchool. Projects that are missing after two weeks will warrant an email to parents/guardians about the work in question.
In addition, we will be completing a weekly reflection that will also be a part of your grade. These will be due every Friday throughout the semester. Each reflection contains five questions and responses should be kept to the length of a tweet (280 characters). Submission of this reflection will receive the equivalent of 100%.
