How can I calculate my grade?
What if I get to the end of the semester and I need a higher grade? |
This course utilizes weighted grades based on a traditional scale (A=90-100%, B=80-89%, C=70-79%, D=60-69%, F=59% and below). The accurate grade percentage will be displayed in the Grades button of the Blackboard site. You should see a grade and feedback on shorter activities within 48-72 hours of the deadline but no later than the next similar deadline (i.e. you won't have to submit a discussion board post until the previous discussion board post has been graded). You should see feedback on longer assignments within 7 days of the submission deadline. I will communicate any changes from these deadlines via email.
If you know that you need a particular grade to graduate/maintain financial aid/complete your program/etc., please plan to earn that grade throughout the class. I do not a) reconsider grades, b) assign extra credit, c) allow previous missed assignments to be made up later in the course. |
Can I submit late work for full credit?

You are allowed ONE (1) late submission for any reason (with the exception of the final project). Any other work will not be accepted late unless arrangements are made with me in advance. Assignments should be submitted on the due date in the format specified for the assignment. Failure to submit an assignment according to the guidelines by the deadline counts as a “late” submission and will not be graded (i.e., if you submit a document in a format that I cannot open or submit to the wrong place, etc.).
