A Note on Taking Notes
This course is class-driven although most of your notes for concepts will come from your textbook. Class time will be used primarily for activities and relearning opportunities. This means notes on your own time are absolutely necessary to do well.
Grading Rubric
The grading scale is A through F. There is no D. Please note that on all assignments, penalties for grammar and spelling alike will not be a significant factor in grading. The focus of the course is to grasp the content. Form mistakes will occur and take practice to master. EACH ASSIGNMENT WILL HAVEA RUBRIC FOR YA!
