Grading

Grading/Retakes

Total Points System: Categories/types of assignment do not impact your overall grade. Look at the number of points for each assignment to know how it will impact your grade

• 5-10 point assignment: usually a minor assignment completed during one class period

• 15-30 points: usually a major assignment or project completed over multiple class periods

Retakes: Students are allowed to redo any assignment if they were unhappy with their evaluation. If it was a group based performance or project, the entire group will perform for a 2nd time, but only the student who asked for the re-do will be re-evaluated if the other students were happy with their 1st evaluation. 

The only assignments/grades that are not eligible for re-do's are:

• "Audience Etiquette" grades in Drama | These take place during your classmates' performances of project in class time. Your actions DO impact their performances, make good choices! 

• "Singing Technique" grades in Chorus | These take place during class each week and are based on my observations of how you are singing in class, including how you are responding to/adjusting to my feedback for you/the class as well as your own observations of how your voice fits in with the rest of the class's sound. 

Students may earn up to full credit on retakes in Chorus and Drama.
