Missing Work
Some folks are still not completing all the Actividades Culturales (Cultural Activities), the Hablar Speaking Assignments, the Escribir Writing assignments or the Proyectos Finales (Final Projects). These assignments are critical as the Actividades Culturales are 15% of the final grade, the Hablar Speaking Assignments are 15% of your Final Grade, the Escribir Writing assignments are 15% of your final grade, and the Proyectos Finales (Final Projects) are like tests, valued at 25% of the final grade. Not doing these assignments makes it mathematically impossible to pass the course, as you are missing 70% of your total grade. Please complete those missing assignments as soon as possible.
Grade Calculations ~ Las calulaciones de notas
Assignments in this course are broken down into the following percentages:

The Course Total calculation includes the 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter and Final Project/Exam. It will only be accurate at the end of the Course once you have done ALL the work for the entire course.
The Grading Period ends May 20th.
- Pay special attention to scores with a - or a 0. This means you have not completed the assignment and you should do so ASAP.
- Incomplete work and 0s hurt your grade. :(
- Progress Reports come out every two weeks.
