Grades: Food for Thought

First of all GOOD JOB to most of you getting your blog address to me.

I am still a little concerned that there are not more illustrations posted. We have until 11:30 tomorrow to get our work up so there is plenty of time. However, this would be good a good time to have a little mental snack.

This particular assignment has 5 grades, each having 100pt each.
  • 100pt for Posting your work (mid-process crit)
  • 100pt Participation (critiquing other posts)
  • 100pt for Design/Composition 
  • 100pt for Demonstrated Technical Skills
  • 100pt for Production and Presentation

Our normal assignments have 4 to 5 grades.

On an assignment that earns 4 grades: If you earn one 0, in order to receive a passing grade on this assignment you will need to average 95% on the other 3.

If you do the minimum and post something, even if its not your best work you will at least get a 50% (and the ability to resubmit your work for a better grade). With a 50% you can average less than 80% on the rest and still pass with a C-. It is even possible to get a B+ as a final grade.
