**Grading Procedures:**
 * Trimester grades will be based upon class projects, wiki discussion posts, quizzes/tests, participation and a final trimester project.
 * Grading rubrics will be posted on this website.
 * If you do not finish a project on time, we expect you to submit what you have completed. //**If you need more time, you need to e-mail Mrs. Strauss and Ms. Connon with the reason.**//
 * //**If you lose a project for any reason, you are expected to do it over.**//
 * You are expected to complete assigned discussion questions on time, posted in the correct place on this wiki.
 * This is a project-based, student-centered course. You will spend most of your class time working on projects. Projects need to be turned in on time.
 * All assignments must have the file name in this format: hour-lastname-assignmentname. Example: **2-smith-soundfx.** We //will// deduct points for not using this format. It is difficult to distinguish the author of a project without the name on the file.
 * Points will be deducted for late work and off-task computer usage.
 * No late projects will be accepted after the last full day of class before the final exam.
 * <span style="color: #000080; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The final project is due at the end of class on the day specified on the class Calendar. **We will not accept late final projects.**
