Grades Procedures

***Extra credit is very rare in this class. It is never given on an individual basis, although it might as a class-wide opportunity. Please do not plan on it, and please do not ask for it. Grades are earned, not assigned. Whatever numerical average the Gradespeed software assigns is what will appear on the report card. ***
