Students have begun to receive graded work back.  Each assignment will have a rubric or points for assignments.  They will be handed back for students to keep and entered into the gradebook.  I’ve been entering grades into Infinite Campus. Students always have the opportunity to resubmit work if they would like to earn more points.  Students are graded on the work they submit. I am looking for thorough work that answers all the questions and completes all of the assignment.  My goal is for students to learn what we are doing in class, so they are always welcome to resubmit work in order to learn more and earn more points.  We will have a hard deadline at the end of each semester, so I can finalize and submit grades. But other than that I’m fairly lenient on turning assignments back in to earn more points.  It is each student’s responsibility to resubmit if they would like to do so. I will be sure to give explicit feedback, so students know what they’ve done well and what they can keep improving on. Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thank you for your support at home!
