Grading Criteria: Grade Recorder
You may PRINT this page and use it to record your grades. Note that the instructor will not post grades. Some assignments are graded by Blackboard and are automatically posted in "My Grades". Other assignments are not graded but have progress statistics posted in "My progress" on Blackboard. To get the grade compare the statistics with the numbers given for these assignments in the Grading Criteria on Dr. Nilsson's CyberOffice. There is also for your convenience a notation space for deadlines, which you can obtain in the Semester Calendar on Dr. Nilsson's CyberOffice. Your final course grade will be reported as a letter grade to STC at a date required by the college at the end of the semester, and will not be posted by the instructor. (Most students get their final course grade on JAG-net or via regular mail from the college.)
