Grading Procedures

AP Art & Art Majors

The key to being successful in the class is to hand in work on the date it is due. Remote learning brings up many challenges, but I would like to teach the class as if we were in a regular class setting. I would like to grade all work on a daily basis. Homework and review is an important component to the class. Homework is graded on effort and the completion of the assignment. Please don't hand in work late. And of course all assignments will be assigned through Google Classroom.

The grading breakdown is:

Major Assignments-75%

Minors- 25%- I break down this 25% into: homework and classwork.
