Grading Scale

 

BCIS

Grades will be weighed as follows:

            * 60% Tests - Testing days are Monday and Tuesday

            * 20% Daily assignments – graded assignments or screen checks*

            * 20% Quizzes

* Screen Checks – in order to be sure your student is progressing in the 
course and learning the material, we regularly take a “screen check” grade.  
These grades consist of ten (10) assignments.  Each screen check grade is 
worth ten (10) points.  After ten (10) assignments, equally 100, the grade 
is entered into the grade book.

A screen check grade is graded on a sliding scale.  The more errors in the 
assignment the more points taken from the total of ten (10).  The lowest 
grade for a completed assignment will be a five (5).  If the student does 
not complete the assignment at all, they receive a zero (0).  These screen 
check grades will appear in the grade book indicating the dates of the 
assignments.
