Grading Policy

GRADING:

The grading procedures are as follows:

HOMEWORK 

• Expect it daily.  

• Some days you’ll get full credit just for trying every problem, other days it will be graded for accuracy. 

  • • You won’t always know in advance so always do your best. 

• Worth 2 points unless told otherwise in advance. To get full credit:

  • • Every problem must be attempted

    • ALL work must be shown

    • must be done in pencil

• NO LATE HOMEWORK will be accepted for credit (unless the student was legally absent from school.) 

  • • Part of the purpose of homework is going over it to find and learn from mistakes. We go over the homework daily in class. If homework is turned in late students won’t have an opportunity to learn from their mistakes when we go over it.

    • If homework is not completed students may be asked to meet during lunch to do it, but not for credit.

QUIZZIES, QUIZZES, and TESTS:

Quizzies:

• may or may not be announced in advance 

if unannounced, it will be open-note 

• usually worth 2-15 points

Quizzes:

• always announced in advance

• normally worth 15-30 points

• lowest one will be dropped at the end of the quarter
  
  

Tests:

• given at the end of each unit

• a review sheet similar to the test will be given prior, and is the best study guide

• normally 40-60 points each

• corrections are expected to be done in class, but won’t result in extra credit

• re-tests are not given
  
  

WEEKLY REVIEWS:

2. • will be given every week

   • will cover anything/everything learned since September

   • could be an IXL, a Google Form, or on paper

   • usually worth 10-20 points

   • due every Friday

     • late Weekly Reviews will be accepted until the following Friday, with a deduction of 1 point per day. 

   • Students may come in during Extra Help Times to get assistance or to have their Weekly Reviews checked over prior to the due date.

(In other words, if you don’t procrastinate you can always get a 100 😀)

CLASSWORK/PROJECTS

4. • may be given through the year

EXTRA CREDIT

   • when offered, it is given to the entire class and not on a student-by-student basis
