Possible Points
The grade book will contain all the project grades, but these will not be calculated in your final grade. See the weekly points section below to see how grades are calculated. There are over 500 points available to get and it is your job to work continually on the paths you choose. If you have an alternate program you would like to work with or use, run it by me and we can make some goals for you.
See Electronic Portfolio to see the points available to you.
