Evaluation/Assessment Rationale for Grade Determination:
Each
student will self-assess his or her assignments and the final grade. Students
will provide a letter grade and a rubric score for each assignment. In addition,
each self-assessment must be accompanied by a rationale and justification for
the self-assessment. Honesty is expected. Students will find that if honesty is
applied, then the self-assessed score will stand.
I reserve the right to make the final determination of the grade.
Assignments are due by midnight of the due date.
