Grading & Rubrics

Grades

Your final grade for the BRVGS Senior Capstone Project will be based on completion of the requirements established in each of the project Modules.  The grade will be calculated and reported at each marking period to the student and BRVGS.  Grades will not be entered locally until the course is completed at the end of April. 

• • The Professional Learning Experience will count as 10% of the overall grade.

  • The Research Process will count as 20% of the  overall grade.  

  • The Community Service Experience and Data will count as 15% of the overall grade.

  • The Website creation steps, formatting and aesthetic choices will count as 10% of the overall grade.

  • The Journals will count as 10% of the overall grade.

  • The BRVGS Local Senior Presentation will count as 20% of the overall grade

Mastery Expectations

Certain steps of the project must be completed to move forward during the Capstone Project. 

• Prior to sitting for the in-class writing of the research paper, the annotated bibliography and the full outline must be submitted to the teacher on it's due date.

• All components must be completed by December for semester courses - completed by March for yearlong courses, to be able to present locally in the spring. Failure to complete all components will result in removal from BRVGS.

There is a late work policy for most of the required elements of the Senior Capstone Project.  Typically, students will lose 1 (one) point per day from that section of the Senior Capstone grade rubric for each day late.  After 3 days, the student will be referred to the BRVGS Director for probation (first offense) or dismissal (repeatedly late assignments).
