- This class is graded on 5 categories; I do not award points for participation. Therefore 100% of your final grade is comprised of:
1 portfolio which make up 25% of your overall grade
57 Quick Checks which make up 15% of your overall grade
2 Discussion Questions which make up 10% of your overall grade
5 Sample Works which make up 10% of your overall grade. Sample Works have 3 slides:
#1 Show What you Know! Answers will be revealed to you for help.
#2 The assignment. Answer the question(s) with as many facts, examples, and details as possible. Cite quotes and sources if necessary.
#3 Click on Preview Assessment to submit your answer to the drop box.
You'll notice that I made the # 57 much larger to grab your attention. Quick checks are meant to gauge your understanding, give you practice, and provide you with content which will be covered on unit tests. DO NOT spin your wheels and spend too much time on them or ask for resets unless you absolutely feel it necessary. Theoretically you could fail every quick check in this class and still earn a B+. So use them as mini quizzes and prep for unit tests and move on.
The Sample Works AND Practices, on the other hand, are excellent prep/study guides for unit tests. They're located at the end of each unit.
I will allow resets on any quick check (although not recommended) DQ, Unit Test, or Sample Work with a request. I DO NOT allow resets for the final exam.
