For a passing grade in my Health class, you will be expected to do the following to a degree that meets the stated standards:

To pass my class with a C, I will need you to show comprehension of at least 70% of the vocabulary, be able to explain 70% of the concepts, and complete all writing assignments to the best of your ability. Vocabulary and concepts will be assessed in the form of a test. This may take the form of matching, short answer, or fill in the blank. You will not be able to use notes on the tests.
