GRADING POLICY
Students are graded on:
- Classwork- 15%
- This includes participating in all class activities - discussions, independent and group work.
- Homework - 5%
- Tests/Projects/Quizzes - 80% - This percentage will be composed of tests, quizzes and projects. Smaller projects will count as a quiz; larger ones will count as a test. See the categories on Genesis for the new district percentages (quizzes = 35%, tests = 45%). Projects will count as either a quiz or test grade, depending on the extend of work required.
- Enrichment/extra credit - Students will have opportunities to earn extra credit points at various times during each marking period. These assignments will be based on enrichment activities relating to our curriculum and done outside of class. Assignments will be posted on the Enrichment tab of this website. Extra credit points will be added to my grade book. At the end of the marking period, those points will be applied to a student's lowest quiz grade.
- I will make every effort to enter grades online on a weekly basis.
