Grading:

Your grade in my classroom will be based upon the following:

Tests 25%/Quizzes 20%: 55% of your grade will be based on test and quiz scores.

Tests and quizzes will be based off of a point system. A test, for example, may be worth 50 pts while a quiz may only be worth 15pts.

Students will be tested after each chapter/unit is complete.

Quizzes will be given periodically throughout each chapter/unit. Any student interested in re-quizzing will be required to discuss this with the teacher, review, and choose a date and time. It is also suggested that the student meets with me to discuss their original quiz results before taking the re-quiz. Re-quizzes can not be taken after the chapter/unit test has been completed.

Assignments/Classwork: 35% of your grade will be based upon in-class assignments and participation.

All in-class assignments may not be checked and graded, but students are required to complete the assignments in the allotted amount of time. Assignments will be checked through putting problems on the board, comparing work with peers, or handing in the assignments (as I feel is necessary).

Participation/Homework: 15% of your grade will be based upon class participation assignments. This category will include all assignments that are completed within class as a group or any assignment where answers are provided and students are required to check their work and ask questions. 

Midterm/Final Exam: 5% of your grade will be based upon the completion of a midterm and or a final exam. Reviews will be completed before the midterm or final are taken. Students will have multiple opportunities to ask questions and review prior to testing.
