Assignment I Grades

     By now you have all received 2 emails: the 1st has been sent only to you- it contains your confidential Personal Identification Number (Student Code). The second email- sent to the entire class- contains an attachment with the weekly grade roster, upon which you will find your score for the previous week's assignment. All you have to do is find your PIN (Student Code)in the far left column. Across that row you will see the # of points accrued for each part of the weekly grade. The far right column shows the total number of points out of the possible 10 points that you have earned.    
     In an effort to be as objective as possible, I break down the assignment grades very specifically. 0 looks harsh, but it's not the end of the world. For example, if you receive a 0 in the "balance" column, it simply means that I judged that you had not displayed balance perfectly in your assignment. Your job from then on is to pay special attention to balancing forms in your drawings. 
     If you get a 0 in the blog column, it simply means that you did not post a comment on the blog for that particular week. 
     If there are ever any questions about how to improve your work, either ask more questions in class, or see me during my office hour- 630-730 pm on Tuesdays. 
     Remember: Don't strive for grades- strive for excellence.
