  each program in great detail!
• Grading
• Every assignment in e2020 will be graded so
  please do your best on all of them. Please note
  that e2020 assigns scores to most assignments. I
  will always go back and grade the assignment
  myself to insure that the grade is accurate and
  fair. If you fail a quiz or test, you may get
  stuck and need the teacher to approve a retake
  before moving on. Try to avoid that! Be sure to
  save all of the Apply Your Knowledge work as
  you move through the course!
