Grading and basic rules...
Attendance:
Please be in the classroom when the bell rings. If you need to use the restroom, be reasonable about how much you leave the room, including for restroom breaks.
Grading:
I use a simple point based system. Add up the total possible value of what was graded, then add up what you earned.
Divide them and that's your quarterly grade.
Example:
Your assignments and projects are worth a total of 1,000 possible points for the quarter. You have earned 930 points.
930/1,000 = 93%.
Improving your work: If you do not receive the grade you would like, you have 1 week from the due date to make improvements and re-submit.
I am generally flexible with accepting late work for a valid reason up to 1 week after the due date, but stay in contact with me about getting it submitted. After 1 week there has to be an extenuating circumstance.
Between 1-2 weeks late, the highest you can earn is a 75.
After 2 weeks late, the highest you can earn is a 60.
If you fail for the quarter, you will have 2 weeks from when the quarter ends to make up any past work.
Your success is most important, so if there is something I can do to help, please speak with me.
