My grading practice
My grading practice
Your final grade is based on your total points earned. You can check your grades and points under the “Grades” link in Canvas. I have set up the course to encourage all of you to strive for an A grade. You can see the point breakdown when you click on "Syllabus" in Canvas. Make sure to check your grades in Canvas as I give feedback and comments. I aim to have your work graded within the week after the deadline.
Late Work and Grading
Late Work and Grading
Please review the course calendar carefully and pay attention to the deadlines and due dates of your weekly module activities. Each weekly module is due Sunday night be midnight and you are expected to submit your assignments on or before the weekly due date. This allows me to grade your work within a week to provide you meaningful feedback before your next weekly module activities are due. Due dates have been designed in the course to ensure time is provided to allow you to produce your best work.
Time management is important for your college and career success. We will learn strategies and tips in this course.
Because time management is challenging, deadlines might not be met. But, you’re in luck as I do not deduct points for late work. Additionally, you are allowed to make up all work for a higher grade at anytime. Remember, I want you to be successful and get an "A" grade in this class.
I will drop students for inactivity and/or if I see no work/activity or very little work/activity done. This is to protect you and your transcript. I recommend staying in communication if work/activities will be submitted late so I know you are making progress. If I do drop you and you want to stay in class, just let me know and I can easily reinstate you!
This class is about YOU and your success!
A = 89-100% awarded for work that exceeds expectations and/or shows exceptional effort, skill, or creativity
B = 79-88% awarded for work that exceeds expectations
C = 69-78% awarded for work that meets expectations
D = 59-68% awarded for work that is below expectation
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. Don't procrastinate, and if you get stuck on an assignment, 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. You know how to reach me, right?
