Grade Procedure

• If you turn an assignment in late, it may take canvas time to change your grade from a zero. I will not change the grade separately.

• I will not grade any assignments submitted through email; all assignments must be submitted to canvas.

• I will not grade any assignments separately or in a different order.

• For fairness, all assignments will be graded at the same time in the same order. No email requests for an early grade will be accepted.
