How are grades calculated?

All test and quiz papers are given a percent.  These are averaged and count 
for 85% of the grade.  Homework is is checked in daily.  If complete it is 
worth 2 points.  If not complete, it can be completed and turned in the next 
day for half credit, 1 point. Nothing is accepted after a day late. Total 
points completed out of the total possible of homework will be 15% of the 
quarter grade.
