our grading categories and weights are set by the district, not by each teacher (meaning I cant change them)
summative (tests, projects): 50%
formative (daily work, quizzes): 30%
midterm: 10%
final: 10%
all summative assessments will be worth 100 points each
will have 10 summatives this year (10 grades will equal 50% of your final grade)
we are moving to semester grades this year, so I'm not exactly sure how many we will have per semester)
all formative assignments will be worth between 20-100 points each (depending on how much work is required)
will have around 70 assignments this year (70+ grades will equal 30% of your final grade)
we are moving to semester grades this year, so I'm not exactly sure how many we will have per semseter)
notice how important your summative assessments are...if you do great on all your formatives and bomb your tests, your grade will tank..
tests matter...there will be a lot of info on each test...
use the study guide
make your cheat sheet (if I allow you to create one)
