Course Grading

Points are earned through a variety of learning activities, assigned weekly throughout the semester. Assignments are designed to enhance your learning by allowing multiple submissions so that you can learn from your mistakes. You can achieve a successful grade in this course by correcting mistakes and repeating assignments with low scores. You have access to your Canvas grade book at all times to track your progress and you are encouraged to contact your instructor with questions or concerns.

Evaluation of student performance will be calculated using the following weighted scale:

  • Canvas Assignments: 30%

  • Connect Assignments: 25%

  • Canvas Chapter Quizzes: 15%

  • Midterm Exam: 10%

  • Final Exam: 10%

  • Participation/Attendance: 10%

B: 80% - 89%

C: 70% - 79%

D: 60% - 69%

F: 59% or lower

Chapter Quizzes and Exams

At the end of every chapter, students will take an online chapter quiz in Canvas. Late or make-up quizzes will not be allowed. There will be a total of five chapter quizzes and the lowest quiz grade will be dropped, so only the four highest grades will be applied to the final grade. The midterm exam will assess the content from chapters 1-2 and will be completed in class. The final exam will assess the content from chapters 3-4 and the supplementary lesson and will be completed in class.
