How will you be graded?

Each principle and element layer is worth points. If you turn in all principles and elements layers with all of the requirements you will earn 100%. If, for example, you turn in 7 layers with all requirements you will earn 50%. Turning in 10 principles and elements layers with all requirements will be graded at 71%. Turning in 1 principle and elements layers with all requirements will be graded at 7%.

If you don’t have all of the necessary requirements for each of your layers you will not receive credit for those layers.

All work will need to be turned in by Thursday, March 5th by the end of the school day to receive full credit. Late work will be assessed on completeness and marked down by 50%. No work will be accepted after a 1 week grace period. Extra time will be allowed for students with excused absences.
