GRADING

*********************************************************************

REQUIRED

GRADE SHEET

You must submit this grade sheet to receive your final grade. If you don’t send in your grade sheet you will be issued a "W" for the term.

I did not assign a grade to most work. Rather I check it off as on-time, revised, proofed properly, etc. If I did give a grade, put it in the blank. Otherwise you are asked to "estimate" if you did okay, did well, did excellent work.

(What else might "lobby" for a good grade?!)

_______________________________________________________________________

To receive a grade of "B" one must complete the minimum requirements assigned throughout the term and participate regularly AND in a timely manner in the email workshops. 

Anything dramatically late or missing will require you receive less than "B" grade. Consistently lower grades than "B" on your three assignments would require that you ask for less than a "B". You may also "calculate" any extra credit to lobby for a higher grade.

To receive an "A" for the term, you must have done the three assignments and required workshops.  In addition, at least two (2) of the grades for your writing assignments should be an "A" and no finished assignment can be less than a "B". You may also "calculate" any extra credit to lobby for a higher grade.  

PLEASE INDICATE FROM THIS LIST ("A"  "B+"  "B"  "C+"  "C"  "D+"  "D"  "W") WHICH GRADE YOU HAVE EARNED:

GRADE:___________

By submitting this grade sheet I hereby certify that all work submitted for this course is of my own original composition. ___________________________________________________

Note: You are asked to assign yourself the grade you believe you have earned. You should be a better judge, and know more honestly how you did, than just about anyone! However, your professor reserves the right to determine all final grades.
