All student work will consist of major assessments (tests and projects) and minor assessments (homework and classwork). All student work will receive a numerical value.
The value assigned to numerical marks shall be as follows:
92-100 Performance significantly above curriculum standard
83-91 Performance above curriculum standard
74-82 Performance at curriculum standard
65-73 Performance below curriculum standard
64 or below Performance significantly below curriculum standard (failure)
All submitted student work will receive a minimum score of 50, unless determined by the teacher that little or no effort was made by the student, in which case a lower numerical mark may be given and recorded. If work is not submitted the value earned will be a 0.
Furthermore, when calculating marking period grades minor assessments will count as two-thirds (2/3)of the grade value and major assessments will count as one-third (1/3) of the marking period grade value.
The numerical average of major and minor assignments will be graded according to the following scale:
A+ = 98-100 A = 95-97 A- = 92-94
B+ = 89-91 B = 86-88 B- = 83-85
C+ = 80-82 C = 77-79 C- = 74-76
D+ = 71-73 D = 68-70 D- = 65-67
F = 64 and Below
(A mark of 65 or higher shall constitute a passing mark.)
If a student is absent a score of missing will go into the assignment until the student has made it up. If the assignment is not made up, it will receive a 0 grade.
