FAQ:
- How often do you update iNow?
- I will make updates weekly. If a grade is not taken that week (possibly Homecoming week or other school events), I will leave the grade as is until the following weekly update.
- Do you grade based on total points or are assignments weighted?
- I grade based on total points. All points are added to your total score. For example; we may have a total of 250 points possible in a quarter. Below is a breakdown of point ranges for specific assignments;
- Tests, Exams, Papers & Projects: 80-100 points
- Quizzes: 25-50 points
- Daily Work: 10-20 points

- Can I earn extra credit?
- I do not offer extra credit assignments, however I do offer bonus points for unused Hall Passes (see syllabus for further explanation). I also offer one amnesty assignment at the end of each quarter. This assignment can replace your lowest grade (excluding exams, papers & projects) if all requirements are met.
- Are you a tough grader?
- I have high expectations for my students and also strive to be as clear and concise as possible in my assignment requirements. If all requirements are met, and if you turn in your work on time and in full, you will succeed in my class. I love questions - if my instructions and expectations are not clear please ask for clarification.
