For some reason this got dropped from the syllabus -- sorry about that.


Basically each Office project is graded on a 0-3 basis.  I have a list 
of items that I look for specifically on each assignment and based on 
the items completed correctly assign grades as follows.

3   -- nearly perfect or only one minor error
2   -- multiple minor errors or one major error/omission
1   -- multiple major errors or omissions
0  -- not submitted

So after all of these are submitted (there are 16 total) I take the 
average of these numbers and that counts for 30% of your grade in the 
course.

Each PROJECT has a grading rubric associated with it and when I grade 
those you will see actual grade sheet in BlackBoard.  Again, the four 
project scores are averaged and this accounts for another 30% of your grade.

MyITLab exams account for 30% of your grade.

The final is 10% of your grade.
