Homework/Classwork
Assignments are graded on three criteria:
On time
Completion
Accuracy
Students may re-do any work that was graded as incorrect to earn full credit (late assignments will be docked 2 points each from their accountability total of 20 points).
I encourage students to turn in re-do and missing assignments before Unit Tests in order to prepare for that test.
Tests/Quizzes
Tests will be given after ever Chapter Unit.
Test dates will be posted on Homework Hotline.
Tests are given after every unit to check for student understanding.
Bell Work
Bell Work is assigned at the beginning of every class period. It usually consists of two to four concepts that were taught from the day before. Students must begin class by writing down the question/s, and then attempt to solve them. We then go over the answers in class (students may correct their answers in pen and still earn full credit). This assignment is graded as "Class Participation" and is accountable for approximately 10% of the overall quarter grade.
Scoring/Points Awarded
Homework
Each homework assignment is usually worth approximately 10 to 25 points (depending on the number of questions).
Tests/Quizzes
Tests/Quizzes are awarded face value.
Example:
If a test has 20 questions, the test will be worth 20 points.
Bell Work
5 points per week (9 weeks per quarter) = 45 points
