Grades
Students Grades will be comprised of the following:
1st and 2nd marking period Semester Grade
* Tests/Quizzes/Projects (Assessments are 75% of quarter grade)
Both are scored as 2X point total * 1st marking period 50%
* Homework (In-class/at home is 25% of quarter grade) * 2nd marking period 50%
---can be turned in late for ½ credit
* Homework and quizzes/ tests will be graded by a point based system. Most assignments will be between 10-20 points based on the number of questions/length. Students will not receive a letter grade for each assignment but can calculate it based on how many points they received and how many points were possible. (ex. 8/10 points = 80% B-)
15/20 points= 75% C )
* Extra Credit can be earned by typing an assignment where 3 additional points will be added to the overall score received.
