Grading Scale
100-90% A (excellent)

79-70% C (average)
69-60% D (below average)
59- 50% F (unsatisfactory)
Assignment Weights
Classwork & Class Participation - I give a weight of "1"
Tests & Quizzes - I give these assessments a weight of "2"
- I also grade tests as a percentage of 100 (so multiplied by 2 means a test is WORTH 200 points!)
What does this mean?
1. My goal is to have at least 3 chapter tests a grading period (min. 600 points).. A majority of your grade is based on our tests.
2. Classwork is practice. Learn the skills, learn from mistakes. Poor classwork grades will not be detrimental... not learning from your mistakes will be! If you make the same mistakes on a test, that is when it will HURT!
