Tests, quizzes, and projects will make up 80% of your grade. The other 20% is homework.
Tests/Quizzes You will be notified in advance of quizzes and tests. If you are absent for a
test/quiz, you will take it the day you return during your study hall in the library. If you have a
pre-planned absence, you are expected to take the test/quiz before you leave. If you do not makeup the test in an appropriate time frame, a grade of zero will be assigned.
Grading



If you receive a grade lower than a 60%, you are required to make corrections on the
problems that you got wrong. You have 1 week to turn in the corrections. By doing
corrections, you will then earn a 60% on that assessment.
If you receive a grade lower than a 40%, you are required to meet with the teacher to work
one-on-one on making your corrections. By doing corrections, you will then earn a 60% on
that assessment.
You can re-take one test or quiz each quarter. You will receive the re-take grade. Retakes can greatly improve your grade.
Labs/ Projects
They will count toward your Quiz/Test average. If you are a person who has difficulty
being successful when taking tests, doing well on projects is an area where you might
be able to excel in. If you turn in a project late, points will be deducted based on the
number of days late it is.
Class work/Homework Daily Point Scale
4 points - completed assignment
2 points - partially complete (at least one-half)
0 points - incomplete
Completing homework is one way to better your grade. Homework will be checked for
completion. Homework is usually not graded by how many problems are right/wrong. You will
receive full credit on homework if your assignments are complete, readable and work shown.
If you miss a class… If you have an excused absence, you have 2 day grace period per day missed to
complete make-up work. If you have a pre-planned absence (doctor’s appointment, vacation, missing for
an extra curricular activity), you are required to take the initiative and get the assignment(s) you will be
missing before you miss the class period. Note: If you will miss consecutive class periods (vacation), you
should get your assignments well enough in advance since you will need to turn in your assignments
before you leave.
Late assignments: You will have 1 week to complete and turn in missing (0 points) or late (2
points) assignments. Partial credit is earned back when these assignments are turned in.
Binder It is recommended that you keep your materials in a 3-ring binder.
Extra Credit: Extra credit will be offered throughout the semester. If you are not satisfied with
your grade or just need a little bit of an extra challenge, you should complete extra credit.
