Final Grades:
As outlined in my syllabus, grades are weighted into five categories: classwork, homework, quizzes, tests, projects.
The grading system had NOT saved these specifications all semester. The error was caught TODAY. I have made the appropriate adjustments to the gradebook. Yes, this is unfortunate timing; however, your grade must be an accurate reflection of the weight scale and your proficiency in the class.
Please allow me time to finish grading final assessments and inputting any last calculations. Your grade WILL reflect your achievement of the course by final submission.
