Grade calculation is pretty straightforward in this class: Reading Notes (25%), Quote Responses (20%), Test One (15%), Test Two (15%), Test Three (15%), Final Essay (10%).
Check your grades.
There is also extra credit that you can earn, but you need to be sure to do all of your required assignments, even if you do them late and get a ZERO. Furthermore, you will have the chance to do optional readings during the semester that can help out with poor grades. You will also have the chance to do optional Quote Responses during the semester that can replace lower grades on required Quote Responses. However, to replace a lower grade, you need to have done the original required Quote Response on time because zeros cannot be replaced.
