  5. Grading Policy for Mr. Douglas’ Art Classes Grades will be based on in-class projects, homework assignments, quizzes, and class participation. There will be extra credit opportunities. In-class projects will be counted as double grades. Home assignments and quizzes will be counted as single grades. Class participation will count as a double grade at the end of each marking period. All grades are averaged as they are entered in my grade book.

  6. Grading Scale Homework assignments are usually given Monday to Monday. Critiques on the due date bring us together as a class to discuss what is good, not so good, and most importantly, how to improve. The feedback is very helpful. Assignments must be handed in on the first day of class of the new week. Late assignments receive reduced credit. The later it is, the lower the grade. Assignments not submitted at all will receive a “0”.

  7. To access homework assignments, go to the homepage of my school website and click on “for ASSIGNMENTS click here”.Find the current due date by scrolling down. Read the objectives and click the “examples” link below the objectives. Reread as needed to really understand the assignment. If you have any questions, please email me at: hd@harrydouglas.com I don’t grade “talent”. The evaluation of your artwork will be based on meeting the specific objectives set forth by my instructions. A letter grade is abstract and may seem vague. These descriptions may help to clarify what the letter grade means:
