Grade Calculation:
Grades will be calculated and posted on Infinite Campus and are viewable online
through the portal. Parents and Students were mailed access codes for this portal.
Student Progress will be any assignment even if finished at home, laboratory exercises,
and large assignments. Student Engagement will include smaller assignments (completed in class
or at home), having class materials, weekly reading and summaries, and participation. The
midterm and final exam are not averaged together. They are separately worth 1/14 of the final
grade.
The participation grade is earned as part of the homework. Asking relevant questions,
answering, questions, enhancing class discussion, out-of-class involvement, and on-task behavior
increases the grade. Off-task behavior, distractions, or disruptions of the teaching/learning
process will not allow the student to earn full credit for participation. A positive attitude toward
the class is also mandatory for full credit.
Lates: Students must be seated and quiet by the time of the bell or a tardy slip is required.
Running to the seat is not permitted, because of hazards due to the close desks, chairs, and lab
tables.
Late work: Late work is penalized by 1/2 the numerical amount per day it is late. It is the
student's responsibility to ask for missed assignments and deliver the late and absent work to the
teacher.
Absences: If the student is absent, he/she has the number of days (not school days) they were
absent plus one to turn in the work. It is the student’s responsibility to ask for missed work and
EXAMS, NOT the teachers on the day they return to class. Write "ABSENT" at the top of the
paper or they are graded as late papers with ½ credit. Make-up test will be given the day of return
if the student was informed, so please make arrangements to get your study materials before
returning. If the student is present for any part of the test day, the test must be taken or
permission granted to take the test at a later date.
Homework: Must be turned in on loose-leaf paper. Notebook paper with the tattered edges is not
acceptable and will be counted late.
Equipment: Do not touch or move any property of the teacher without permission (Especially
my TOYS). Intentional misuse of classroom equipment will result in immediate detention,
referral, or a consequence decided upon by the teacher. Accidental or intentional destruction of
equipment requires a reimbursement of an equivalent value.
Grading System and Classroom Expectations
Mr. Wright Room 306 Louisville Male High School
Supplies: (may only be borrowed at the beginning of class if available and may not be borrowed
from other students. This is to teach accountability and responsibility for being prepared)
Students must always have a text book , pencil, pen, loose-leaf paper, notebook (preferably
perforated), Flash drive 2 pocket folders, scientific calculator and extra batteries (preferably TI-83
or above) and all other materials requested by the teacher for class. Students should keep colored
pencils, protractor, and a metric ruler in their locker. If the student comes unprepared without
notifying me before class, I will ask him/her to get his supplies from his locker and acquire a
tardy slip. A large punishment (such as writing this paragraph 10 times) or after school work will
be given to those without supplies. If a student’s supplies break or the batteries are depleted, the
student needs to bring the broken material or dead battery to class to show accountability.
Students who do not bring the book to class will have 10 points deducted from the
participation grade.
Cheating does not have to be proven. Any talking, or appearance that one is looking at another's
paper or any aid during an exam will result in a 0%.
Conduct Grades will reflect compliance with the general rules of Male High School, courteous
behavior to the teacher and fellow students, and strict observance of lab rules and safety
procedures. No food, drinks or gum will be allowed in the classroom and after school
punishments will be given for violating this rule. Any referral given due to misbehavior may
result in conduct (citizenship) grade failure.
Assignments will usually be posted on http://mrwrightsphysics.weebly.com. They are often sent
by email and Remind.com applications as well. http://mrwrightsphysics.weebly.com/ is the site
to rely on for updates and accuracy, not the email or Remind.com
The A.P. Physics I Exam will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 and Physics II exam will be
held on Wednesday May 4th. in the afternoon session beginning at 11:30. All students are
encouraged and expected to take the Physics I exam, and although class time will be devoted to
preparing for this test, self study is mandatory. A grade of 3 or higher (out of 5 possible) earns the
student college credit from most universities. The student must take the test to be graded with the
A.P. grading scale.
