Progress Reports and Report Cards
Grading
I expect quality work from my students. Each class project will be given points based on the difficulty of the project.
Grades will be issued according to the percentage of accrued points:
See the Project Base Success Criteria on my web page.
93% A 90% A-
87% B+ 83% B 80% B-
77% C+ 73% C 70% C-
67% D+ 63% D 60% D-
If a student earns below 60 % they will be given an (I) grade, which will need to be made up.
