My grading policy is as follows:

1.     Tests, written essays, reports, projects:     80%

2.     Homework:  20%

All failed tests made be retaken for full credit, but this must be
done after school in my room.

All homework missed may be made up for full credit, but this must be
done after school in my room.

The specific objectives of my class are listed under "syllabus" and 
are correlated to the State PASS objectives.  The general objective
of my class is simply to teach students as much about grammar, usage,
literature, vocabulary, and writing as I can possibly do in one
school year.
