Does every project have a rubric?
Almost all large scale projects will be accompanied by a rubric. Large scale is classified as anything that exceeds a 50 point value in my grading system. There are some smaller scale projects (usually averaging @ 25-30 points) that are issued without a detailed rubric; however, the students are told exactly what is expected of them.Back to Top

Can everyone do Extra Credit?
No, only students with two or less missing homework assignments and no missing projects can complete extra credit. If a student has more than two missing homework assignments or a missing project, they will not be permitted to do extra credit. Extra credit is offered for those students who complete their assignments and are still not quite where they would like to be gradewise. Extra Credit will be offered the first two semesters only - there will be no extra credit offered for the third trimester.Back to Top
