Grading & Classroom Expectations
How grades work, and what's expected in class
Grades are simple by design: you earn points every week for showing up ready to work and for the quality of what you turn in. Here's exactly how it breaks down.
Grading
Weekly Points
Every week is worth 10 points total, split into two categories below.

- 5 Good work
- 4 Max grade for late work

- 1 Poor work
- 0 No work turned in

Late work is always accepted - turning something in late is always better than not turning it in at all.
