Grading
All assignments are graded on a point system. Each assignment has a specific number of points that contribute to the overall quarterly grade. Grades are determined by the total number of points earned out of the total number of points possible. The following grade scale is used:
89.5% - 100% = A
79.5% - 89.4% = B
69.5% - 79.4% = C
59.5% - 69.4% = D
0% - 59.4% = E
Late Work
If a student has late work because of an absence, s/he has the same number of days absent to make up the missing work. For example, if a student is absent for 2 classes, s/he will have 2 extra classes to make up any assignments. Unexcused late work is accepted with a reduction in points. All assignments turned in late during the 1st quarter lose 10%, 2nd quarter 20%, 3rd quarter 30%, and 4th quarter 40%. Although I will remind students occasionally, it is each student’s responsibility to keep on top of all work.
