Grading PolicyAn academic grade will be given for this course which will be based on assignments, homework, quizzes, and tests/projects. Grades will be posted regularly throughout the term. Final Grades will be weighted by the following percentages:
Test and quizes- 65% Assignments- 25% Warm-Ups- 10%At times, students will
correct each other’s work or a student aid will be assigned that task. If this is a problem, please contact me and other arrangements can be made. Students with failing grades will be invited to work with me in my classroom after school.GRADING SCALE93-100= A 80-82= B-67-69= D+90-92= A- 77-79= C+63-66= D87-89= B+ 73-76= C 60-62= D-83-86= B 70-72= C- 0-59= F
Warm-Ups Each day a warm-up question will be on the board to start the class period. These questions usually are similar to test questions for the unit. Warm-ups are worth 10% of the final grade.
Tests and Quizzes A test will be give for each unit studied. Seventy percent of a student’s grade will be based on quizzes and tests. Two to three random quizzes will be given throughout each unit. Students will be allowed to re-take tests. I reserve the right to deny a student a re-take if they consistently fail to prepare for tests or take advantage of re-takes. Re-takes may consist of questions Attendance Policies
Regular attendance in class is required. Please be advised of the CVJH tardy policy. I will follow the school’s attendance and tardy policy. Students who regularly are absent from class struggle to stay caught up and achieve satifactory grades. Please make every effort to avoid missing
