1. Grading

At LanguageBird, students get a final grade for each semester (12 instructional lessons). The grading breakdown is as follows:

  • Participation (20%)
  • Homework (20%)
  • Use of Language (30%)
  • Semester Project (30%)

We input a final letter grade for each of the categories in the FINAL COURSE GRADE SUMMARY at the bottom of the LNG:

To calculate the final grade for participation, homework, use of language, we refer to the daily grades we assigned over the course of the semester. If the daily grades vary a lot and you’re having trouble assigning final grades, refer to the Holistic Grading Rubric found under Misc. in your Starter Pack. Watch the tutorial below to learn how to use it.
