Grading

Imagine Edgenuity uses weighted averages of various activity types to determine student grades. In these new courses, each activity is linked to a weighted category that is calculated as a percentage of the student’s grade. The educator can customize the weighted percentages.

Assessments

The midterm and the end-of-year exam consists of a bank of questions that are selected at random. The midterm exam covers the content taught in the first semester while the end-of-year exam covers the content from the entire course. The question banks are pre-populated and are not dynamic, which is why customization in World Language courses is not encouraged.
