At the end of the semester, learners can request a final grade report. Learners must be enrolled in the class for at least four novels (two units), and must have submitted at least two essays and/or projects to qualify. 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.보고계신 지문은 자동 번역 되었습니다
