Each project is graded and recorded in Jupitergrades as an independent study in the Technique & Performance category. Each project score will be multiplied by the number of classes it is worth. For example project A can be used to excuse up to 3 classes. So if project A earns a cumulative score of 95%, that score will be multiplied by 3 and added to the injured student's overall average.
Note that while you are not dancing, you are still responsible for all other assignments given to the class.
