How many assignments can I expect over a six week grading period? ASSIGNMENT POLICY: **NEW as of 10/5 What is the grading scale?
70% and above is passing (70-74 = D)(75-79 = C) 80% to 89% = B 90% to 100% = A Are the grades weighted? (is one type of grade worth more than the other?) YES...Major grades such as tests and projects count as 60% of the final grade. Daily grades such as the ones above count as 40% of the final grade. What do I do if I fail a major test? Each student has the opportunity for re-teach and re-test on all end of the unit tests given. Tutoring times and retake dates will be posted on this site and in the classroom. I will provide a powerpoint reteach/review online. There will also be a fill-in-the-blank outline provided online and in the classroom. The student may come in for tutoring and sit down with me and a computer at school to complete the outline or complete at home on your own. The student must bring that outline in as proof of review in order to retake the test. It is the responsibility of the student to attend the designated time for tutoring or home tutorial and test re-take. I will not chase a student down and make them retake a test! If a student passes the re-test, a maximum grade of 70% is recorded. If a student should fail
the re-test, the higher of the two grades will be recorded. How are the grades calculated?
EXAMPLE: Possible points per assignment: 100+100+100+4+4+4 = 216 Students Score: 100+85+0+1+1+1 = 188 188/216 = 0.8703703 or 87.04 HOW DO YOU HANDLE HOMEWORK? What can I do to earn bonus points or extra credit?
Students can complete a weekly "Weekend Challenge." (See navigation bar and click on "Weekend Challenge"). In addition, from time to time I will offer different bonus opportunities. What if I need tutoring?
How do you handle progress reports?
Progress Report need to be signed and brought back only if the student is showing a grade of 74 or below!
