Grading Process

When your Portfolio is Verified Complete, the Final Grading process will begin,
starting with the portfolio of the earliest-scheduled student.

  • Students desperate to improve their grades EVEN AFTER WED APR 24 can continue to improve their posts.

  • No guarantee is offered for HOW LONG that last improvement opportunity will last.
  • Regrading can still occur until the time your Portfolio is graded.
  • Regrades are not automatic upon the improvement of your post.
  • Drop a Reply to alert your beloved professor to your improvements.
  • Ask for a Regrade.
