Grading and Attendance Policies

Multimedia: (two weighted catagories)

Projects and Daily Assignments--90%
Daily assignments are those smaller assignments that students complete while we are learning the different multimedia elements. These are generally graded using a checksheet and are usually worth between 10 and 20 points each.
Projects are completed at the end of each unit of learning. They are graded with a rubric that is available on the class moodle site. These usually take several days to complete and are usually worth 40-80 points.

Work Habits--10%
Each student begins with the total 100 points in this category. Students lose points for the following:
Missing class unexcused...-10 points
Coming late to class unexcused...-5 points
Wasting class work time...-5 points
Inappropriate internet use...-10 points
Texting in class...-10 points
Disrespectful to others...-10 points
**all Work Habit points lost can be made up

I use the traditional 90-80-70-60 grade scale.

Microsoft Office : (three weighted catagories)

Chapter Projects and Blogs--60%
Projects are completed at the end of each chapter/lesson. Many keys are available online, so students should be able to complete the work correctly. Blogs are graded on ideas, organization, and writing mechanics. Blogs are worth 10 points each with each individual chapter project worth five points each.

Review Projects --30%
At the end of each unit, there are review projects. These review projects will be graded uning a checklist rubric which will be available on the moodle site.
