E. Grades, feedback, "2nd try"

Your course grade is based on 23 graded items, with 3 optional extra credit assignments possible. Assignment scores add up to a possible 1000 for the course not counting extra credit points. This simple chart illustrates the entire grading system. Suggestion: CLICK HERE to download a sample copy of the type of grade listing I will periodically update and send you including your scores and my feedback on the work. That calculation of your course grade in the listing is based on these weights for assignments:

USF means Unit Summary Form, a document in which you provide short answers to questions about important concepts of your assigned readings and viewing. You download a USF for each unit from the link provided, fill it in with your word processor, and submit the completed document. 
*Extra means extra credit

There is no midterm exam or final exam in CSC-200. I give each student personal attention and feedback and all assignments are repeatable. This is a “mentoring” pedagogy that provides much more feedback than exams so I don’t use exams to provide feedback or assess student progress. Make sure you explore the course web site thoroughly to understand how this course works!

Only the gray-shaded boxes represent graded items, except for extra credit which is entirely optional and is scored only if you do it. It's not necessary to do the extra credit work to earn a grade of "A" for the course.

REVISING AND RESUBMITTING WORK

"2nd try" ("Second try"): All assignments are "repeatable" to enhance your learning. By this I mean that you can do the online exercises any number of times (within the dates that the unit is active) and your highest score is used for grade computation. You submit all other assignments (USFs and projects) as you complete them, I grade the work and e-mail your score and written feedback to you. You then can revise the work following my feedback and resubmit it for re-grading.
