A mid-semester project and a final essayLetra de calificación
If students submit an essay or a project, I will provide a rubric with a final letter grade, as well as comments within the essay or project itself.Informe de progreso
I am always available and happy to work with caregivers to ensure that their learner's specific needs are met. If you wish to touch base with me about your learner, or discuss something in particular, don't hesitate to reach out and I will provide feedback.Certificado de finalización
At the end of the semester, learners can request a final grade report. Learners must be enrolled in the course for the entire duration of the semester, and must have submitted both the project and the essay. I am unable to accurately assess a student's performance otherwise. Grades will be an average of: class participation, in-class writing, and essay/project grades, weighted evenly. Grade reports will include a written report as well as letter/number grades.Experiencia de clase
