Your grades will be posted online in Canvas in real-time as soon as they are graded. Please check them regularly so that you know that the time to be concerned about your grade is now, not at the end of the quarter.
If you think there is an error in your grade, please contact me immediately (not at the end of the quarter). You have two weeks from the due date of an assignment to identify any grading error.
Each module will be published every two weeks on a Monday. All due dates are noted on the course schedule and in the Canvas shell.
Late work is not accepted and extensions will only be accomodated based on extenuating circumstances.
All assignments will have a due date [every other Friday] and be closed that Sunday. Extensions will be granted ONLY if previous arrangements have been with me - not after the assignment has been closed or last minute requests. Please plan accordingly.
All assignments will have a point value which will translate to a final course grade percentage [see grading scale below]
ORIENTATION: 10pts
QUIZZES: 75pts
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS/PEER DISCUSSIONS: 105pts
FILM REVIEWS: 60pts
FINAL: 50pts
EXTRA CREDIT: Up to 30 possible points
*There is no midterm and your final will consist of a project/presentation.

I know that getting good grades can sometimes be stressful. To help reduce that stress and improve the likelihood of getting your best grades, allow yourself the time and space you need to do your best work. If you get stuck, reach out to me or one of your peers. I welcome your questions and I'm happy to help you think through your ideas so you can successfully complete an assignment.
