Grading
This course will be graded using an evidence based grading system. Your practice will not impact your overall grade (However, choosing not to do the practice may have undesired consequences) and the unit projects, group projects and logic puzzles will be used as evidence to determine how well you are progressing within the skills listed above.
You will have multiple oportunities to show your growth in each skill, and will be scored on a scale of:
- Beginning
- Developing
- Proficient
- Advanced
For each skill, your overall skill score will be the weighted average of all scores entered for that skill:
| Weight | Category | Work Type |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | Practice | Daily Assignments |
| 10% | Scrimmage | Logic Puzzles, Activities |
| 90% | Game | Individual & Group Projects |
For the semester, your grade will be the average of your skill scores:
| Grade | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| A | 3.50 | 4.00 |
| B | 2.90 | 3.49 |
| C | 2.20 | 2.89 |
| D | 1.50 | 2.19 |
| F | 0.00 | 1.49 |
