Explanation of Grading Criteria:
 
Web Page Evaluation Flow Chart

The Grade of F: unsatisfactory

An F assignment does not meet requirements.  If a student receives an F on a paper, he should
  make an appointment with Prof. Hardin to discuss errors and correction for future assignments.

The Grade of D: borderline unsatisfactory
A D assignment contains major errors but some sort of organization can be observed. This grade suggests the student has some major deficiencies which prevent full appreciation of the site. If a student  receives a D on an assignment, he should make an appointment with Mrs. Hardin to discuss errors and correction for future assignments

  The Grade of C: conditionally satisfactory
A C assignment contains errors that inhibit full benefit of the site. This grade usually suggests that the student has some deficiencies understanding layout, balance, or contrast, or he didn't include all components of the assignment.

The grade C- represents a serious weakness in comprehension.

The grade of C points to basic solidity of a student's design, but  contains a warning that the student must refine some components.

The grade of a C+ commends the student's insight and is meant to offer encouragement that the work is almost on the level of mastery.

The Grade ofB: above average
B is a grade that indicates that the student performed slightly above average. There are still minor errors that, if fixed would make the site more productive.

A B+ assignment has an original and unusual design, is ingenious in its layout, but lacks creativity found in an A assignment.

The Grade ofA: Outstanding, unusual work
An A assignment is always a surprise and cannot be predicted. It fulfills all of the requirements of a B assignment, but shows a  refinement of layout, balance, color, contrast, graphics, etc. It is deep and original in content

An A- assignment contains all of these characteristics, but may have a few minor errors that don't inhibit the site.

An A+ assignment is the greatest of compliments. It exceeds all expectation and has no   errors.



Attendance Requirements: If you are absent on a due date, you must make appropriations for your work to be turned in on time. Any quizzes missed may not be made up. If there is valid reason for extended absence, schedule an appointment with Mrs. Hardin to discuss options for make-up. NO WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER DUE DATE
