GRADING SYSTEM
GRADING RULES:
1. Due dates are firm, absence is not an excuse. Class work, homework, projects, texts, etc. are always on your class site
2. Significantly unfinished work will not be graded or accepted.
3. Any project submitted on time may be improved for the next class for a higher grade.
4. A finished project (ex: a website or a paper) can be submitted one week late, but will be graded one whole letter grade lower.
    For example, an “A” work (100%) becomes next session a “B” work (85%).
    In this case, you will not have a chance for improvement
Note:
Any assigned part of a project is not considered to be the whole project, and will be accepted only on due time, not later.
5. No project will be accepted two weeks late and a grade of 0 % will be entered instead.
6. All websites and other projects have to be submitted into drop-box folder
7. All websites and files that I would mention specifically, have to be uploaded onto your server
8. All additional information is always on your class website
NO EXCEPTIONS
YOUR SEMESTER PROGRESS:
You can follow your progress at any time of the semester:
In your drop-box folder you will find a Word file “Grades and progress.docx”, which I will be updating regularly, including project grades, evaluation and my comments regarding projects or any other issue.
