Grades are based on the following categories and weights:
1. Writing to Win (10%)
We will complete about 2 journals per week and at least one process
writing. When writing I will be watching for the following:
- complete sentences and spelling - no texting
- do not begin sentences the same way
- thought and effort is evident
2. Daily Work (15%)
Daily assignments are graded on the following scale:
-
5 POINTS: 100% of problems are complete and
work is shown.
-
4 POINTS: 80% or better of problems are done
and work is shown.
-
3 POINTS: Students come in after school
or on Friday and 100% of
the problems are done and work is shown.
-
0 POINTS: Students submitted assignment, but
did not complete enough to receive credit or did not show work.
-
Missing (M): Students did not submit an
assignment.
3. Quizzes (30%)
Please note that most if not all quizzes are available for retake
as long as it is done before the chapter test. When students
retake a quiz they will receive the better of the two scores.
4. Tests (45%)
Tests are multiple choice although each problem is worth 2 points,
one for the answer and one for the work.
No extra credit is available, if you are interested in
improving your grade I recommend getting your daily work done and
retaking any or all quizzes.
