**Grading**

 * Click here to access the Grading forms**

There's Digital Media Primer homework due for almost every class of the semester. The homework will be graded under the following rules: 1 or A: Did all of the work required in the homework on time and used original media. 0.5 or C: Did the homework on time but 1) missed parts of it OR 2) didn't use original media. 0 or F: 1) Didn't submit homework on time OR 2) did submit homework on time but it missed parts AND it is of poor quality.
 * Weekly Homework 60% (Projects - Each project is worth 2 homework assignments)**

The 20% assigned to the grading process is based on 1) grading by the established due dates (announced via email during the semester and written in the class schedule) and 2) grading your peers' homework accurately. Students are able to make appeals if they believe that you have graded them wrongly. If you did make a mistake in the grading of their homework, YOU will be graded down.
 * Peer Homework Evaluations 20%**


 * Final Exam 20%** Everything covered in the tutorials, plus unit sections questions and required vocabulary (see link above).


 * A student can miss the final exam (with an A grade) if his/her homework has been selected a group's best homework 5 times or more.
