Tests are usually given at the end of
each unit and are almost always announced beforehand. Teachers
do have the right to give unannounced tests or quizzes
when they deem necessary.
20% Student Work
Homework and classroom assignments will
be given throughout the course with specific deadlines. To
receive credit, homework and classwork must be handed in on
time. If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to find
out the missed classwork as well as homework. If a student is
absent on the due date of a homework or classwork assignment,
they are required to bring in the work the day in which they
return to class and turn it in to their teacher in order to
receive credit.
20% Projects
A project will be assigned once a
quarter. Each project will have specific objectives and criteria
that will be discussed during the quarter. The projects must be
turned in on or before the due date in order to receive full
credit.
20% Participation
Student behavior each day in the
classroom will contribute towards their participation grade.
This grade incorporates being on time to class and ready to work
when the bell rings, coming to class fully prepared, and acting
in a respectfulk manner. Disrespectful and immature behavior
towards the teacher and/or other students will deduct points
from the student's participation grade.
