Grading Policies
Grading Scale:
The grading scale is as follows:
Tests / Projects 40%
Quizzes 35%
Classwork / Homework 25%
Please note that because grades are weighted, students
cannot figure their own averages by adding up all the grades and dividing by
the number of grades. Students will receive a progress report approximately
mid-nine weeks. I ask that these be signed by parents and returned the
following day. In addition, parents may call or e-mail me for grade updates.
*All graded work will be returned ASAP. Students will keep graded work in their
notebook with a running grade sheet that lists all of the grades.
Homework
/ Classwork
Students will have homework most nights with the
exceptions of some Fridays. Questions about individual homework items will be
addressed after the homework is checked.
Methods for checking homework are:
·
Walking around the room and scanning each
student’s paper
- Collecting
a class set of papers
- Unannounced
homework checks
