Banner Assignment Reflection

I really enjoyed creating this assignment. I liked how independent the project was, and how it wasn't an exact replica we needed to create. We really got to put our creativity into it. However, I didn't like how you gave speeches and made us stop working during class. This really took some time from my project. But what really bothers me the most, is your grading. It really confuses me. Do you fail us on purpose to show us how to deal with disappointment? Even if we did good? In the most polite way possible, I would just like to know why you don't grade like other teachers, or of how hard we tried. On the contrary, I thought your teaching skills were very good and thorough when we were learning how to use photoshop (eg: Masking, Layers, Font, Picture Adjustments, Etc.)
