Grading and Assignments

LE&A activities will provide the necessary building blocks for students to perform well on end of unit Assessments.

Students participating in Beginning Computer Science will be required to complete activities related to computer science and design thinking to receive credit for LE&A activities. LE&A activities will provide the necessary building blocks for students to perform well on end of unit Assessments.

LE&A activities are weighted 30% of final grade.

Assessments are weighted 70% of final grade.

• Students will be given time in class to complete all assignments for class.

• THERE IS NO HOMEWORK!

• Due dates will be posted in Schoology along with instructions for what is to be submitted. All assignment feedback will be given in Schoology with grades being posted in Infinite Campus.

• Any assignment not turned in by the due date in Schoology will be marked missing in Infinite Campus, which automatically scores the assignment as ZERO. This can have a very negative impact on the grade. This will also add the assignment to the student's missing assignment report, which can be found in Infinite Campus.

• Once the assignment is turned in and I am notified by the student, I will update Infinite Campus to remove the missing. Assignments turned in over 1 week late WITHOUT prior approval by instructor may be subject to a 10% penalty.
