Something you should know: Canvas is not perfect. Especially because this time of the semester, you may see changes on Canvas. Your letter grade calculations might convert to points-based calculations.
But we don't need Canvas to do the math for us. We can do the math ourselves.
Over the course of this semester, you have had the potential to earn 2,000 points. I made for you a grade calculation sheet. Download the form. Go to Canvas and enter the points you have received for each assignment. The Excel sheet should add the points for you.
1,640 - The Wix/ePortfolio - ** THESE POINTS ARE ONLY EARNED IF THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE ACCESSIBLE AND VISIBLE ON YOUR WIX SITE. I DON'T AWARD POINTS FOR MISSING ASSIGNMENTS OR BROKEN LINKS. **
100 - Participation Projects - Can't be made up. Either your participated in these assignments or you did not.
260 - Twitter - Also, cannot be made up. You either posted 10 times that week or you did not.
Once you add your totals in each of these areas, divide by 2,000, and you have your grade. According to the requirements set by the State of Florida, College Level Writing students must make at least a C- or higher. Otherwise you have to repeat ENC2135. A C- is 70-72.
If you have revised your P1 or P2, that revised grade will replace the existing grade. No one's grade goes down after revision. If you make substantial revision, you will see a grade increase. If you do not make substantial revision, your grade will remain the same. You may not see this on Canvas until after the semester is complete.
If you have any questions regarding this, you can contact me via Google Hangouts.
Note: Again, you are only awarded Wix points for items which appear on the Wix page. If you "forget" to post something on your Wix page, you will not receive the points for it, even if the points were already counted on Canvas.
When I begin grading Wix/ePortfolios, I will mute most of the assignments where you cannot see your points anymore. However, I will not be grading them until after April 26.
We don't have a final in this class. I am not accessible to discuss grades after they have been posted. Once grades have been posted, I do not have the power to adjust grades. I could meet with you at the beginning of next semester to review your grades with you.
