HOW GRADING WORKS
HOW GRADING WORKS
I recognize that this is a very stressful time for you. COVID-19 has added significant stress and trauma to our lives. That stress affects your ability to learn. Give yourself grace as you try your best. I will be flexible throughout this course to support you towards your academic success. I believe in you!
I welcome your questions any time and I'm happy to help you think through your ideas so you can successfully complete an assignment. Sometimes just a five minute conversation in Zoom or on the phone is all you need. Struggle is a natural part of learning, but if you're feeling frustrated that means it is time to reach out for some assistance. You know how to reach me, right?

A requirement for this class is to do 15 hours of work outside of the class, which could be meeting with our tutor, working with me in Student Visiting Hours, attending online CLAD workshops or tutoring, or other alternative activities that I will be providing. You will document these hours and I will check them at the midpoint and last week of the semester. More information on this will be provided during Week 2.
MY GRADING PHILOSOPHY
MY GRADING PHILOSOPHY
Grades are a reflection of your learning progress. Each week, you should click on the Grades button in our course navigation and review your scores and my feedback. There are no hidden points in this class. You do the work, show that you've learned by meeting the rubric criteria, and you get points. It's that simple. If something seems not right, reach out and let me know.
Contact me through the Canvas Inbox or send a message to the class on Pronto or on the Q & A Forum. I return students messages within 24 hours Monday to Friday and within 48 hours on the weekend. I do not work on Sundays.
