VI. GRADING POLICY
Grades will be based on a point system. Each student can earn up to three points a day by following
class rules and fully participating in class activities. Total points assigned for each homework, class
work, quiz, test, skit, or presentation vary depending on the length and difficulty of the tasks. Two
points are deducted everyday for late work submitted after due date. The total number of points
earned against the total points possible will determine the student’s final grade. Each student is
given four “5 Minute Hall Pass” at the beginning of each semester. Each unused pass will add ½
percent to the student’s final grade at the end of the semester. Grades will not be rounded up.
98.0 – 100 % = A+
92.0 – 97.9% = A
90.0 – 91.9% = A–
