Do I have to take a quiz if I was absent the day before it was given?
If I told the class about the quiz before you were absent, then you do have to take the quiz on the day you return. If I told the class about the quiz the day before (meaning on the day you were absent), then you do not have to take the quiz the day you return. You will, however, have to take the quiz the day after you return. There are occasionally exceptions to this rule.Back to Top

How do you figure out our averages?
I record the percentage you get on each quiz and test. I then average the percentages together for your final grade for the marking period. This means that if you are taking a quiz that you didn't study for it is better to put down a few answers and get a 40% than to leave the quiz blank and get a 0%. Chapter tests in Spanish II count as two grades.Back to Top

How does homework count towards my average?
You receive a homework grade which counts the same as a quiz grade. That means that if I assign ten homework assignments and you do seven of them, you will have a 70% average for homework.Back to Top
