Assessments
- Participation
- Coming to class prepared
- Making an effort to take an active role in
discussions
- Maintaining a record of class discussions &
activities
- Working productively in a group
- Homework Assignments: Homework is assigned
on a regular basis. Our
in-class discussions and projects are often based on the homework
assignment due for that day.
I expect that students will complete every assignment. A complete assignment includes a
proper heading with the date, instructions, questions, answers, and
reference to sources.
Homework assignments are recorded on the homework calendar and on
my webpage. Students who are absent are expected to call a classmate to
get the assignment(s).
Extensions may be granted in special cases, for long-term projects,
but no extensions will be granted the day before the project is due.
Students will be expected to hand in any missed assignments during the
lunch extra help period.
- Quizzes, Essays, Research Papers,
Tests/Projects: If a student does not meet the standards on any one of
these assignments, he/she will be expected to make the necessary
corrections and/or complete an alternative assessment.
