Grading Criteria

This course is not graded! It is for your personal growth. I provide constructive feedback
as applicable to help ensure you are getting everything possible from your experience.
As well, there are several self-assessment opportunities that you can choose to
complete to help you gauge your own learning.

These self-assessments are percentage-based so that you can see how you did in
terms of being at 100% accurate. If you find that you are routinely completing these
tasks at 70% or higher, you can assume that you are engaging with the content and
tasks at a passing level.

If you take a non-graded assessment and would like to better understand how you could
improve your experience in that area, please message me.

The Garland Public Library makes reasonable academic accommodation for patrons
with disabilities. Patrons seeking reasonable accommodation must first register with the
library staff to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, staff will provide you with a
reasonable accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion
regarding your specific needs in a course. You may request reasonable
accommodations at any time; however, staff notices of reasonable accommodation

Please deliver letters of reasonable accommodation by uploading them through the
