I issued final trimester and semester grades for all students in all courses based on completed projects, tests, classwork, and homework assignments (occasionally featuring student note taking for reading, and answering reading comprehension questions at the ends of different chapters in the courses' respective textbooks), all of which were entirely designed, assigned, and evaluated via individual student letter grades issued by me. I regularly posted homework assignments and letter grades online at the school’s network, Google Classroom, keeping parents and students informed of any updates pertaining thereto via consistent online updates throughout the process. And, I designed and evaluated final exams/projects for classes at the end of each Fall and Spring Semester for every school year taught.
