Course Grading

Graded Components

  • Assignments 1-3/Journal Writing - Assignments include essay assignments and journal entries on the topics we are studying.
  • Quizzes - Quizzes will cover the grammar topics in the module.
  • Final Exam: Punctuation Final Exam May 12, 8:15am
  • Grades will always be posted in your grade book on CANVAS weekly. You will receive feedback on all work before the next assignment is due. Be sure to keep track of your points regularly, so you are aware of your grade. 
  • Missed or late work will receive an F unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor or under special emergency circumstances.
  • Credit/no credit (Pass/No Pass) You may elect to take this class for credit without a letter grade. This means if you earn 70% or better, you will receive credit for the units, but no grade that will affect your grade point average.  All developmental classes can be taken for credit/no credit.  If you wish to take an ESL class for credit/no credit, you must fill out a form in the Admissions and Records Office.
