Please take the time to read over the syllabus .This will cover my classroom rules, expectations, and grading policy.
Grading Policy
•Each semester grade will follow this weighted percentage:
Test: 50%
Homework: 25%
Quizzes: 10%
Study Guide/Practice Test: 10%
Participation: 5%
Notes: We take notes during class. All notes will be available to rewatch on google classroom. This can be a great resource if students are struggling with a concept or miss class.
Classwork: An assignment will be given with each lesson. Each will be around 20 problems or less, and students may will be given class time to work on each assignment. Homework is meant for practice, and showing work for problems will be expected. All homework for the unit is due before the unit test for credit. Homework will typically be digital; the assignments will be posted on google classroom and Savvas.
Quizzes: Short quizzes to assess students understanding of the material will be given throughout the unit. Most quizzes are 10 points. Most of the time, showing work will be expected and graded. Teacher discretion on points awarded. Students can schedule time outside of class to retake. Students can retake a quiz anytime before the unit test.
Practice Test (Study Guide): Students will be expected to complete the unit practice test prior to the unit test for a grade. The practice test will typically be posted at the start of the unit on DeltaMath. The expectation is to score 80% with the opportunity to get extra credit by scoring higher than 80%
Tests: At the end of each unit, at test will be given. Tests could be on paper or DeltaMath. Most of the time, showing work will be expected and graded. Generally, there will be no notes available for tests. Test corrections will be complete the day after the test for half credit back.
Benchmark Tests: Approximately each quarter, students will take a Benchmark Assessment.
Participation: Students earn points for actively contributing ideas, collaborating respectfully, coming prepared, and clearly explaining their reasoning, with teacher observations, peer feedback, and self-reflection helping track progress.
