Assessment Assessments consist of quizzes, tests, written assignments (letters, articles, a journal, compositions, and guides), and oral presentations (speeches and skits) (85%).Homework is worth 15% of the total grade, to have the full credit I expect completion of it (right or wrong). My expectation is for every student to try their best and do all their notes and assignments in the classroom and homework. Each student will know his/her average at all times. Also, each student is responsible to check HOMEWORK, ASSIGNMENTS, TESTS, QUIZZES, PROJECTS, ORALS and DUE DATE on daily basis on PORTAL.
