Grading Policy

You will be graded on a Points-Based System. Tests, quizzes, classwork, homework, notebook checks, online tasks, participation and preparedness checks will be assigned a set number of points. This should encourage you to put the same amount of effort and importance into ALL assignments.

In Genesis, you will see each assignment labeled as "Quiz" since everything is based on a set number of points. You should look at the heading to see what type of assignment it is.
