    Academic Assessment: 

    Grading will be based on a combination of the following: 

    • Class Participation: Students are expected to participate in class activities. Participation includes staying on task and being an attentive and respectful audience member during direct instruction. 

    • Classwork: Most classwork will be posted on Canvas. 

    • Typing Tests: Typing tests will be given regularly. I will observe if you are using the finger placement taught in the lessons. You can retake typing tests if there is enough time left in the quarter. 

    • Tests and Quizzes: These will be announced in advance. 

    • Projects: These will give you a chance to practice your skills. (Expect more projects during the 2nd semester after typing skills are mastered.) 

     

    If work is not turned in on time, a grade of zero (marked as NHI) will be temporarily entered until the work is turned in and graded.
