Grading: 60% Major and 40% Daily
Major: A student will be assigned three – four major grades each six weeks. Major assignments include projects, presentations, and tests. Test days for this class are Tuesday and Thursday.
Daily: Daily grades will be figured from chapter assignments, worksheets, quizzes, project planning, reports, vocabulary test, and daily assignments. All work should be turned in on time or points will be deducted.
Late-Work Procedure: Students have the opportunity to turn in late work. If they turn in a major grade late, you will receive 10 points a day it is late for per un-excused absence and for daily grades it is ½ off per day per un-excused absence.
Re-teach/Re-Test Procedure: If you do poorly on a test and would like to re-take the test, please come visit me about your grade and we will set-up a time to review the material and re-take the test.
Make-Up Policy: It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for make-up tests, find out what assignments are missing, and when they are due. Generally, for each excused day of absence the student may take an additional day to turn in work. Mark “Absent” on your paper when you turn it in.
