 Grading Policies

Three assignment categories will make up your grade in this class:

Student progress reports will be handed out at the 3 week mark in each six weeks. Reports cards will be handed out at the end of each six weeks. 

A = 90 – 100    B = 80 – 89      C = 70 – 79      F = below 70

You will take a notebook test each six weeks. You will be required to keep all graded assignments, tests, handouts, labs and notes. You will not be able to complete the notebook test without these papers.

You will be responsible for taking a six weeks test at the end of each six weeks. You will also be responsible for taking a semester exam at the end of the fall and spring semesters unless you meet the requirements to be exempted. 

Requirements for Exemption:  The requirements for exemptions will follow the Student Handbook.

 Assignment Policies

Assignments: All assignments are due on the due date assigned. Students are expected to keep track of due dates and turn their work in on time.

The Due Date is the date the assignment must be turned in to receive full credit. Work turned in one day late will be penalized 30points. 

Students with excused absences are able to make up and turn is missed assignments in a time frame proportional to the number of days missed without penalty.

Students with unexcused absences must make up missed work, but the assignment grades will be penalized 30 points.

No extra credit work will be assigned. If you do the assigned work you will not need extra credit work.

Supplies
