  • 70% to 79% (280 points to 319 points) =  C
  • 60% to 69% (240 points to 279 points) =  D
  • 59% and below (less than 240 points)    =  F

 

Late Assignments

Late Assignments: If for any reason you are not able to turn in an assignment on time, you will have two additional days to complete the work and submit.  Late assignments will see a point reduction of 20% of the possible points.  For example, a ten point assignment will see a reduction of 2 points.  If you earn 8 points out of 10 on the assignment, there will be a reduction of 2 points.  8 points earned, minus 2 point loss, equals 6 points. The final score: 6 out of 10 points.  But if you turn in your work on time, you won't have to worry about any of this!  Assignments are not accepted beyond the two day grace period.

Late Discussions: Because discussions are dependent on interactions among students, they need to occur in a timely manner.  Therefore, no late discussion posts will be accepted.  My suggestion: when you have a discussion, jump right in and do it first. 

Attendance Policy

Be sure to keep in mind the attendance policy for English 102. We will have weekly assignments.  The first week's assignments and tasks are especially important, since they impact your enrollment.  The drop policy for this class requires that you complete these assignments by Friday, September 3 at 11:59 pm:

#1 Quiz: Getting Started

#1 Discussion: Introductions.

If these tasks are not completed by the due date, you will be dropped from the class.
