NOTE: Your grade is not a commodity; it has not been purchased with tuition. You have every right to be graded fairly, but you do not have a right to any specific grade. Your grade isn’t a reflection of you as a person. Your grade isn’t a measurement of effort. Your grade IS an evaluation of performance. This means that your final grade in this course is dependent upon how well you demonstrate comprehension and application of the subject matter through the timely completion of the items listed in this module and the course syllabus.
