Assignments and Grading Policy

Uniform Wear (100 points)

1. AFJROTC regulations require cadets to wear the uniform at least once per week. Guidelines for the wear of the uniform can be found in the Cadet Guide.

2. Your uniform grade is based on your uniform inspection score and includes grooming standards, proper wear of the uniform and military bearing.

3. If you are absent on a uniform wear day, you must wear your uniform the next school day to receive full credit. If you are absent on the second day also, do not wear your uniform on the third day. Instead, you will complete a written assignment in Google Classroom.

4. Other than absences, if a cadet does not wear the uniform on the specified day they may wear it the next day and 25 points will be deducted from their overall grade. After the second day they will receive a grade of zero.

5. Cadets assigned to in-school suspension should not wear their uniform. They will be assigned a makeup assignment.

6. Cadets must wear their uniform for the entire school day (from the time they arrive on campus until the end of 7th period). If a cadet changes out of their uniform without instructor permission, their grade will be changed to zero. Cadets attending off-campus classes (eg. Autry) may change out of their uniform AFTER their last on-campus class.

7. If a cadet misses a mandatory event requiring uniform wear, they will receive a zero grade for that event.

Physical Fitness Training (75 points)

1. Cadets must wear their issued PT uniform to class on designated days (usually Thursday). Points are awarded as follows:

Wear issued PT t-shirt/sweatshirt and shorts/sweatpants – 15 points each

Participate in all activities – 45 points

2. Partial participation will be graded at the instructor’s discretion. Cadets who do not dress out and do not participate will receive a grade of “zero”.

3. You must wear appropriate athletic shoes to participate.

4. Cadets with an injury or condition that prevents participation may be excused for up to three days with a note from a parent/guardian. Only a note from the school nurse or a medical doctor can excuse a cadet for a longer period.

5. Cadets who are absent, assigned to in-school suspension, DCA’d or otherwise cannot participate in PT must complete a makeup assignment in Google Classroom within one week.

Good Conduct (100 points)

Cadets are expected to uphold the Air Force’s Core Values to include following school rules and treating adults and other students with respect. Cadets begin each grading period with 100 points. Points will be deducted as follows:

Assigned to ISP – 1st day minus 20 points, additional days minus 10 points each
Assigned to OSS – minus 50 points
Other infractions – determined by Instructor, minimum minus 10 points

Exams (100 points)

1. All material covered in the lectures is testable, even if it is not in the textbook.

2. Any cadet who fails an exam (score < 60) must make arrangements with the instructor to retake the exam within five school days. The instructor may require the cadet to attend one or more days of morning office hours to review the material. If the cadet fails the retest, the final score for the exam will be the higher of the two scores.

3. Cadets who are absent for an exam have five school days to make-up the missed exam.

Community Service (100 points)

Cadets are expected to perform at least two hours of community service each quarter (marking period). Community service may be performed for organizations other than AFJROTC (church, honor society, YMCA, etc.). Grading is based on the total hours performed by the end of the marking period as shown in the table below:

Drill Test (200 points)

At the end of the second semester, first-year cadets will be tested on their ability to perform the 30-step drill sequence. Second- and third-year cadets will be tested on their ability to command a flight through the 30-step drill sequence. Second-year cadets will be provided a written list of the commands. Third-year cadets must have the commands memorized.

Quizzes (points vary)

Cadets who are absent for a quiz have five school days to make-up the missed quiz.

Speaking/Writing Assignments (points vary)

Students will complete various speaking and writing assignments. The instructor will provide more information in class.

Other Assignments

The Instructor may assign additional work within the class or as homework. Grading for this additional work will be discussed when the assignment is given.
