Mr. Peterson will use the following grading system. There will be no exceptions or substitutions to it. Your oral and written work will be assigned a letter grade. The respective values for each letter grade are indicated below.
Letter Grade System:
A = 4.0 (94-100%)
A- = 3.7 (90-93%)
B+ = 3.4 (87-89%)
B = 3.0 (84-86%)
B- = 2.7 (80-83%)
C+ = 2.4 (77-79%)
C = 2.0 (74-76%)
C- = 1.7 (70-73%)
D+ = 1.4 (67-69%)
D = 1.0 (64-66%)
D- = 0.8 (60-63%)
F = 0.4 (< 60%)
If you have any questions and/or concern about your classroom performances and/or earned grades, please make an appointment to confer with Mr. Peterson as soon as possible. This course requires more than a casual effort and deals with specific terminology and the ability to apply your learning to course projects. I will use the following criteria in evaluating your work during this course.
A = Exceptionally well prepared and executed completion of assigned work indicating effort, individualized style, and demonstrating a thorough grasp of large portions of the course material.
B = Creative, well-prepared work, demonstrating unusual effort, talent, or grasp of the material that is distinctly superior to an "average" or "C" effort.
C = Satisfactory completion of assigned work at a level of effort and competency normally expected of the majority of students (basic completion, average performance, and reasonable effort).
D = Unsatisfactory completion of work indicating misperceived objectives or failure to grasp key concepts but with reasonable effort.
F = Failure to complete assignments through a lack of reasonable effort, or failure to attain passing average on either exams or assignments.
