Understanding the Gradebook

An updated gradebook has been uploaded.

Please note:

  • Empty boxes represent assignments that have not yet been logged.
  • Empty boxes are automatically counted as zeros. 
  • Therefore, the grade in the final righthand column is NOT accurate until ALL of the boxes in your row have been filled.
  • Your grade in the final column likely reflects the fact that I have not yet finished grading all "Hills" essays and Foster journalsMarks for all other assignments are up to date; empty boxes in these columns mean missing or late work that should be made up by the Friday before mid-year exams.
  • If I have a grade for a particular assignment, it is in the gradebook. I am currently updating the gradebook multiple times a day

In other words:

DO NOT PANIC. Take a deep breath. Or three. And be patient.

If you have turned in all of your work, you'll be fine. If not: turn in your make-up work ASAP!
