Grading
So, how do I get "the grade"?
This course requires regular participation, reflection, and delivery of specific assignments. Your grade is not fully dependent on seat time spent in class, but there are minimum requirements for passing this course (see Point Scale below) that include live participation in synchronous sessions.
Good news! Everyone starts with an A.
The following breakdown shows the point totals you will need to maintain your A, or to earn a lesser grade when/if you complete fewer assignments or participate in fewer activities.
Point Breakdown
- Synchronous Sessions: 25 points per x 8 sessions = 200 points
- Blog Posts: 25 points per x 8 posts = 200 points
- Final Presentation: 100 points
- Final Paper: 100 points
Total points possible: 600
Point Scale
- A 500+ points
- B 450-499 points
- C 400-449 points
- D 350-399 points
- F less than 349 points
Obviously, you can still pass the course without completing all assignments, but there are a few caveats.
To pass this course, every student MUST:
- Attend 5 synchronous sessions at minimum
- Write 6 blog posts at minimum
- Deliver a final presentation
- Submit a final paper
Failure to meet these minimum requirements may result in an "F" or "I" incomplete grade for the course.
