    Grading

    Grades are calculated by the following:  Total points earned  = 100%

                                                                                                  Total points

     

    Tests, quizzes, homework, classwork, and reports are included in this grade.

     

    Homework

    Most homework is worth 10 points.  Homework that is not turned on the day it is due results in a zero. It is due when you walk in.  Other assignments worth more than 10 points that need to be completed outside of class are also due when you walk in.  If it is late, it will result in 50% off per day.  Anything after “when you walk in” will be considered a day late.  Do not walk in the classroom and ask to print on the day that it is due. It will not be considered to be completed on time. If you have a problem printing an assignment, email the assignment before it’s due and print it later.

     

    Classroom Guidelines

    If you follow the above guidelines you should do very well.
