Grading:
Major Grades 60%:
Major grades will include exams and projects. Exams will be over material we cover in class, supplemental material you are asked to read, and material covered in handouts, labs, or other activities. Comprehensive final exams will be given each semester and count as 14% of the semester grade (not part of 6 weeks grade). Students should study daily to be prepared for exams.
Daily Grades 40%:
Daily grades will include homework, quizzes, and class assignments. Homework will include worksheets, definitions, reading, and other work that will help prepare you for class or reinforce concepts we’ve covered. I do not give busy work. Every assignment has a purpose, and you are expected to complete all work. Quizzes may be given at any time covering vocabulary, assigned reading, previous lectures, homework, or lab procedures. Class assignments are varied, and may include participation grades. All work is due at the first of class on date due. Daily work will NOT be accepted late. If you are absent, you need to see me the day you return about what you missed.
Late Work
Work will be accepted ONE DAY late for 30% off of grade. Work will not be accepted more than one day late.
Make-Up Work
REMINDER: It is your responsibility to get your make-up work. Ask me before or after class or come by after school. If we took notes, borrow them from another student and copy them. You ARE responsible for material covered while you were gone!!! If you are absent the day a project is due, you must turn it in the day you return!
Retests
If you fail a test, you may come in on the designated days after school to take a retest to replace your failing grade. The retest will only be offered at certain times. The highest grade possible on a retest is a 70. If you have not been doing If you have not been doing your daily work, you will not be allowed to retest. Remember – in real life, there is no such thing as a “retest”! Study hard for tests the first time and avoid having to come after school.
Returned Papers/Handouts
Keep ALL returned papers and handouts that I give you in a binder or folder – you will need these in case my computer crashes and eats your grades.
Room Cleanliness
The desks and floor needs to be clean before you leave – I will do spot checks! Do not leave your stuff! Detentions will be issued if you can’t clean up after yourself. Since our room and furniture is very nice, I will be very picky – if you deface/destroy anything, you will be punished according to the handbook – this can be very expensive!
