To remind you, homework and classwork assignments are graded on a four-point scale based on quality: thoughtfulness, style, and correct use of grammar, vocabulary usage, and the other rules for standard written English. Please note, though, that grading exceptions regarding language rule use will be made depending on the context of your writing. Be sure to follow the language rules for all major written assignments and designated homework and classwork assignments. When posting to Nicenet, you can write using the language, grammar, and style you'd normally use when emailing or writing in your own personal journals. Here is the translation of the grading key: X = 0, Ö- = 1, Ö = 2, Ö+ = 3. |
