Instead, the focus of our exercises and assignments are building a knowledge and competency in concepts and skills. This sort of learning is iterative and does not necessarily occur just because I mark up an assignment and give you a grade. The learning happens by my reading and analyzing what you\u2019re doing and then adjusting the course to help you meet the course goals and outcomes. In other words, many of the exercises and class discussions build on previous ideas and concepts to try and ensure that you\u2019re picking up the big ideas for the course.<\/p>\n<p>If at some point you have a concern about where \u201cyou\u2019re at\u201d in the course, just ask.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about this in a <a href=\"http:\/\/tek-ritr.com\/its-true-i-dont-grade\/\">blog post I wrote<\/a>. We will most definitely talk about this strategy during the course.<\/p>\n<p>**Information is subject to change based on how the course is progressing.\u00a0 No changes will be made without adequate discussions as a class.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Grading Scale<\/strong><\/h2>\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>A+ (97\u2013100) 4.00<\/td>\n<td>A (94\u201396.9) 4.00<\/td>\n<td>A\u2013 (90\u201393.9) 3.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>B+ (87\u201389.9) 3.33<\/td>\n<td>B (84\u201386.9) 3.00<\/td>\n<td>B\u2013 (80\u201383.9) 2.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C+ (77\u201379.9) 2.33<\/td>\n<td>C (74\u201376.9) 2.00<\/td>\n<td>C\u2013 (70\u201373.9) 1.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>D+ (67\u201369.9) 1.33<\/td>\n<td>D (64\u201366.9) 1.00<\/td>\n<td>D\u2013 (60\u201363.9) 0.67<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your grade will be calculated as follows: Assignment name weight Due Date comprehend 20% 9-17-2019 apply 20% 10-8-2019 analyze 20% 10-29-2019 synthesize 40% 12-3-2019 These&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/assignments\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Assignments<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":199,"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions\/199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/rhet-knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
