Grading

View your grades

The Magistra will grade each assignment and enter the grades in the online gradebook that you can access via the "View Your Grades" link above, or from the Grades link on the My Tools page. Points for each assignment can vary, but grades will be expressed in a percentage, 100/100, 52/60, 16/16, depending upon the value of the individual assignment and how well you did.

The Final Grade in Latin I is based upon the overall accumulated percentage of all assignments in the course. The Magistra will use the following scale to assign Final Grades:

The Magistra reserves the right to ask students to redo all assignments that are below 70%. Students also may redo all assignments below 90%, except Midterms and Finals. Midterm and/or Final percentages that are two (2) grades below the accumulated percentage grade will lower the Final Grade one full grade. For example, a "C" grade on the Semester Final will lower the Final Grade for the semester to a "B."

If students are unhappy with a grade on any assignment, except Midterms and Finals, they may propose an alternative assignment to replace that assignment and its grade. If students do not wish to complete a proposed Internet assignment, they may propose an alternative assignment, agreeable to both the Magistra and the student.

The Magistra will transmit interim grades if asked for, but normally does not post on the Web a record of a student's progress. A final grade will be e-mailed to you and your adult contact from the COOLSchool Registrar. An official transcript will be mailed to the address indicated on your initial registration.
