You must fulfill all of the requirements for a specific level to earn that grade.
Final projects that do not fully meet criteria will lead to a reduction of your final grade. (There isn’t a chance to revise and resubmit final exam work).
Excused absences include illness, approved co-curricular conflicts, religious observances, and court appearances. Please email me in advance so we can talk about how to make up work.
Pass on a quiz = score of 70% or higher
