109 How You Will Be Evaluated
|
I will use both qualitative and quantitative evaluation in all courses and learning activities. The qualitative evaluation is represented by my comments to your assignments and discussions. The quantitative evaluation is represented through grades that follow the conventional letter system, and they are based on specific criteria for the course and each learning activity in the course. This page summarizes what you need to know about both the qualitative and quantitative evaluations in this course. You may want to print it for future reference.
