Grading Policies:
Homework: all homework must be completed by the following class and turned in
at the beginning of the class (i.e. when the bell rings). Complete homework
will receive 20 points, less than complete work will be graded accordingly.
NO EXCUSES!
The course grades are approximately 50% test and 50 % homework. Thus, note
that your homework can make or break your grade.
Grade Scale: (according to Wilson County)
