Course Lessons Optional Certificates Awarded - Certificate of Appreciation
- Certificate of Merit
- Certificate of Academic Excellence
I am offering a Certificate of Merit to each student passing this class. Since I consider this a college level course, I won't be offering Attendance or Participation certificates, as these are expected from all students. (I also don't like the one for Outstanding Achievement for some reason, I think it sounds redundant or something) I'm a pretty conservative teacher and I believe we're still in a period of 'grade inflation.' Basically that means that most students and parents (and sometimes even teachers) expect A's and B's from teachers. Well, a C grade is for AVERAGE performance. A C grade is not a bad grade, it's supposed to be average. (okay, I'll save the lecutre for class) You're excused now.
Certificates awarded by the instructor will vary and are based upon student merit.
Any awards you earn are considered unofficial (or temporary) unless you decide to make the award official.
To make an award official, there is a $30.00 processing fee that covers the customization, printing, and shipping of a hard copy of the certificate as well as access to the UniversalClass™ Transcript Service.
Official awards include a serial number that verifies the authenticity of the award you earned for a lifetime (great for employers
to verify your achievement).
