Art is not a subject that can easily be graded based on written or oral testing. Since art is a subjective topic, not everyone views the same work with the same opinion. The following is a guide to my grading system: 100 "BEST OF SHOW" (Exceeds expectations of "OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION) 97 "OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION" (Exceeds expecations of "EXCELLENT" EFFORT) 95 "PE"====PASS with GREAT PARTICIPATION AND EXCELLENT EFFORT---A JOB WELL DONE! 90 "PA"====PASS with PARTICIPATION AND EXTRA EFFORT 88 "SE"====PASS with PARTICIPATION AND GOOD TO AVERAGE EFFORT 75 "NI"====PASS but NEEDS IMPROVEMENT IN PARTICIPATION AND ART SKILLS 70 "UE"====PASS with VERY LITTLE PARTICIPATION AND UNSATISFACTORY EFFORT. F FAILED WITH NO EFFORT OR NO PROJECT PRESENTED ****Every student will have the opportunity to talk to me about grades during the course. If you feel you have been critiqued unfairly, please address the subject with me, not your classmates. Grades are a private matter and you should never compare your work or grades to another. You have 4 class days from the time of a failing grade to redo an assignment and this will be on your OWN time before school, during lunch, after school or as homework. "Remember every member of your class has the opportunity to make an "A" in art." As your teacher, I will base your grades on the following criteria. This will ensure a fair evaluation for everyone's work.
