Categories and Weights

Course Activity (6): 10%

10/6 = 1.67 so each course activity is worth 1.67% of your final grade

Discussion (3): 20%

This means each discussion 20/3 = 6.6667% is worth about 6.7% of your final course grade

End of Semester Test (1): 20%

Module (12): 20%

20/12 = 1.67 so this means each Mastery Test is worth about 1.67% of your final course grade

Post-Test (3): 20%

This means each Post-Test 20/3 = 6.6667% is worth about 6.7% of your final course grade

Unit Activity (3): 10%

10/3 = 1.333 so this means each Unit Activity is worth about 1.3% of your final course grade


Students unlock Mastery Tests by redoing the tutorial that goes with it.

Discussions can be redone by adding more to your response. You have to message your teacher so she can regrade it. Course and Unit Activities show up each time they are resubmitted. Discussions can't be formally resubmitted. The teacher has to go into the gradebook, find the discussion, read what you wrote, and manually add points. 

Post-tests and the End of Semester test can be taken twice and require the teacher to reset them. The reset has to be 24 hours after completion of the first try.
