Grading Philosophy Final

1) Grades in the class will reflect students' demonstration of learning course objectives, not behaviors like participation or time management. 2) Students will have opportunities to revise assessments to earn a higher grade, and grades will reflect growth over time rather than early performance. 3) Writing assignments will receive full credit if basic requirements are met, and students can revise and resubmit work that does not meet expectations to earn full credit and encourage experimentation.
