Assigned work completion

This category measures one simple thing: did you complete and turn in the work that was assigned to you for each section? It is worth 10% of your grade — and that is intentional.

"Completing an assignment matters. But proving you understood it matters a whole lot more."

Under the old model, the quality of your submitted work was one of the biggest factors in your grade. Under the new model, completing the work still matters — but the grade for doing so is based entirely on whether you turned it in, not on whether it is well-written or correct. Quality and genuine understanding are measured separately, in your weekly meeting.

This design is intentional. If a student turns in AI-generated work, they earn completion points — but they earn very few learning verification points because they cannot explain it. A student who does their own imperfect work and can talk about it intelligently will almost always outperform a student who submitted polished AI output.

How it is scored

The score is proportional. If you completed 80% of the assigned work for a section, you earn 80% of the points for that section. Point values vary by assignment type and are set by your teacher.

Completion status	Score
All assigned work submitted by appointment time Ready for teacher to review at the start of the meeting	100%
Partially complete Score = points submitted divided by points possible. Example: 3 of 4 assignments = 75%	Proportional
Nothing submitted No work available for the teacher to review or verify	0%

Due at appointment time

All work is due at the start of your weekly meeting — whether or not the meeting is rescheduled or missed. Late work policies apply.

[check]

Self-reported first

You report your own completion percentage in your weekly reflection before the meeting. Your teacher checks this against the gradebook.

Completion is not quality

This category only measures whether work was submitted. Whether you actually understood it is measured in the Learning Verification category (30%).

Model review — how all the pieces connect

Here is a quick summary of all six categories and how they fit together into one complete picture of a student.

Category	Tier	Weight	What it really measures
Learning verification	Class	30%	Can you explain and defend what you actually learned?
Curriculum grade	Class	40%	How are your textbook scores, engagement, and lesson completion?
Assigned work	Class	10%	Did you complete and submit your assigned work?
Meeting attendance	Holistic	10%	Did you show up on time and fully prepared?
Daily Discussion Forum	Holistic	5%	Did you engage with the daily devotional every school day?
Community values	Holistic	5%	Did you put your faith and values into action this week?
