Online Gradebook
|
All students will have an account in Angel Learning (an online course management portal). Your grades will be posted in an online gradebook that you can access 24/7 from a web browser (click the TOOLS tab). Your Angel user ID is the same as your Parkland email login (usually your first initial followed by your last name, all lower case with no spaces — i.e. "jsmith"). Your password is the last five digits of your social security number. Once you have entered Angel, you can change your password. If you need any help with your Angel login, see your instructor.

Final Grade
|
In this class, your grade will be based on attendance, class participation, software proficiency and the quality of the work you do. Your final semester grade will be determined as follows:
|
||
Attendance
|
Attendance is mandatory. Attendance will be taken promptly at the beginning of each class. You are considered absent if you are not here when attendance is taken. Your semester grade will drop by one letter grade for every four classes missed. "Excused" absences will only be discussed under extraneous circumstances and only if you have missed more than four classes. It is your responsibility to make up any work missed during absences.

Earning Points
|
Points can be earned in each of the following categories:
Projects will be graded based on creativity, problem solving ability and craftsmanship. Numerical grades will be awarded for each project. Assignments will be graded based on accuracy and craftsmanship. Assignments will be graded pass/fail. At the end of the semester, all the points earned for the lessons and projects will be averaged and weighted to determine your final grade. No credit (read "zero" points) will be given for work not completed by the assigned due date. In other words, late work will will not be accepted, period. It is the student's responsibility to know the deadlines for each assignment. If an assignment has been submitted on time, students have the option of continuing to work on and improve each assignment after the due date and class critique for (possibly) a better grade. Grades for re-worked assignments will be no more than one full letter grade higher than the original grade at the assigned due date (re-worked project grades will never drop in grade). All re-worked assignments are due by the final review date. Bonus points may be awarded for active participation in class.

Note
|
We will review your midterm and final grade during the individual reviews twice a semester. During the individual review, you must bring all the work you have completed up to that time (including all reference materials, all presentation materials, digital files, etc.). Do not throw away any material from this class. Your grade will depend on it. At any time during the semester, you may request individual reviews to check your progress. You may revise and re-submit projects and lessons as many times as you like up until the final review.
