Grading

Quizes/Tests/Exams are usually given a point value.  Labs and projects are usually scored with a ruberic and given credit when a student goes beyond the expected.  I use FAME.  The meaning of each letter is listed below.

Note:  Project grades can be devided among the group.

 Points                  Rubric

90 -100% = A    E = Excels                    (The student has taken the work beyond what was asked.)

80 – 89% = B     M = Meets                   (Student has done what was asked of them.)

70 – 79% = C     A = Approaches          (Student is approaching; they have the basic concepts.)

50 – 69% = D     F = Falling bellow       (Student has done most the work, but does not understand concepts)

0%                      NC = Not Completed  (Student needs to finish for the grade to be figured out)

 Grade break down:

               Classwork                         30%

      Quizzes                              10%

              Assessments/Projects   50%

              Homework                        10%
