FAQ's
Where can I find information about what we did in class?
- Each week is linked with a google document that outlines what we did in class and resources with examples of how to do the work.
- I will randomly pick a section to grade during Xblock on Wednesday.
- Turn it in for Wednesday with a sticky note that outlines what needs to be graded.
- YES! Make the appropriate corrections and I will give you 1/2 of the points back that you missed. So you missed 2 points and you make the corrections and I give you 1 point back. OR You can redo the assignment and turn it in for a late grade you can get up to 80%. I will grade these with the assignments 1 week after the deadline.
