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 submitted work was one of the biggest factors in a grade. Under the new model, completing the work still matters — but this category is based on completion status, not quality. 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 — simple 10-point scale

Teachers enter a single score of 0–10 each section based on the completion status of assigned work. The scale below provides consistent anchors.

Score Status What it means
10 / 10 Complete All assigned work submitted by appointment time. Ready to present and discuss at the meeting.
7–9 / 10 Mostly complete Most work submitted. One or two items outstanding. Student came prepared to discuss what was done.
4–6 / 10 Mostly incomplete A meaningful portion of work not submitted. Meeting productivity is limited.
0–3 / 10 Missing Little to no work submitted by appointment time. Teacher has nothing to review or verify.

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.

Self-reported first

You report your own completion status in your weekly reflection before the meeting. Your teacher cross-references this against submitted work.

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%).

Zeros enforce completion

Missing or late work is entered as a zero directly in the digital textbook, which reduces your curriculum grade. There is no separate penalty here — the textbook grade reflects it naturally.
