Grading
My grading practice
I want you to gain confidence in the overall process of creating electronic music, so I emphasize weekly lab practice and learning from mistakes. Now that we have moved to an online format, the remainder of the course will be comprised of reading, discussions, quizzes, a final exam, and projects based on our available technology. Do you know how to check your grades and submission comments in Canvas?
How your coursework is weighted
The final grade is a reflection of your overall participation in the course and includes components like your attendance, timeliness and quality of homework completion, class participation, as well as, quizzes and exams. Be sure and ask for support from myself and others in the class so that you can earn the best possible grade.
