EVALUATION AND GRADINGStudents MUST know how they are going to be graded, and they must know this as early as possible.This is the place to "put it in writing" and ensure that everyone is clear about it. Students need to knowthat attendance is important, and that UWTacoma requires 80% overall completion for noncreditprograms. We award CEUs, which require monitoring of activities including attendance, classassignments, tests, etc., as outlined in this syllabus.

You may refer to the UWEO instructors handbook. However, please note that UWT requires an overall(averaged across all grading parameters) 80% completion rate, including attendance, class assignments,tests., etc., whereas UWEO (Seattle) requires 80% attendance and 75% completion on course work.EXAMPLE BELOW:Coursework will be weighted as follows:

Grading is SC/USC (successful completion/unsuccessful completion). SC is a minimum of 75% or higher.80% attendance is required. Excused absences may be accepted. Discuss with the instructor.

1. Drawings ___% A drawing will be assigned almost every class period. Each drawingwill be graded unless there are major errors or omissions and it isreturned for correction or completion. Drawings with minor detail orother non-conceptual errors will be graded as submitted.

2. Quizzes ___% There will be many drawing-type and other quizzes (probably onealmost every class period). There will be no make-up quizzes.
