Grading Policy

All grades will be posted on Canvas Grades. Grades will be updated automatically each time you complete an assignment. Grades for discussions will be posted weekly. Exams and Quizzes are typically are automatically graded so that you receive feedback immediately and can identify gaps in your knowledge base before moving to the next module. Always take advantage of any opportunity to re-take quizzes; the goal is for you to actually learn this stuff, not to "catch" you at what you don't know!
