6th Grade World Cultures with Ms. Bumpas

Six weeks averages are calculated using the following assignment weights:

50%--Tests and major projects

50%--Daily work/homework (25%) and quizzes (25%)

Grade Penalties for Late Work in 6^th Grade:

1. Work is expected to be turned in on the day it is due.
2. In the event that an assignment is turned in late, it must be turned in before the final assessment for the unit to receive any credit.  (The final assessment may be a test, project, web quest, etc.)
3. A major project will receive a 10-point deduction for each day it is late
4. Daily work will receive a 20-point deduction the first day it is late.  *** If you do not turn in an assignment on the day that is due, I will enter it into gradespeed as a "missing" assignment. Gradespeed interprets any "missing" assignment as a zero. A zero will really hurt your overall average, so it is very important to complete every assignment and turn it in on the actual day it is due. Once the late assignment is turned in, a deduction of 20pts will be taken from the grade earned and it will be substituted for the "missing" grade.***
