Grades

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 personal Canvas grade book at all times to track your progress and you are always encouraged to contact me with questions or concerns.

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

  • Canvas Assignments: 60%

  • Cajas de cartón Assignments: 20%

  • Portfolio: 10%

  • Midterm Exam: 5%

  • Final Exam: 5%
