5. Grading
Criteria
The assignment is not based on a letter grade, but it is
worth full participation points as long as the student tries
to engage in the assignment
We want to build encouragement, rather than discourage
students by a bad letter grade
A bad grade will only discourage the student from speaking
English/Spanish
