Grading Policy: Your grade is based on your final portfolio (See "Complete Portfolio" under assignments to see what is required). Promptness in turning in assignments may be used to "lift" your grade if the Portfolio grade is borderline; delays in turning in assignments will not be used to hurt your grade; but it will probably affect the quality of your Portfolio. Please contact me with any questions about this.
