Grading Scale Grades are derived on a point basis. Points are assigned for supplies, progress checks, worksheet, projects, papers, tests, etc. At the end of each grading period, all points are added up and computed as follows:
100 - 90 % A
89 -80 % B
79 - 70 % C
69 - 60 % D
59 - 0 % F
Grading If extra help is needed, the student will need to spend extra time outside of class. The software needed to complete projects will be available to students in the classroom as well as in the Computer User Center and the TLC. Projects will be graded with the following criterion on an advanced level:
Creativity
Effort
Following the directions and expectations of the assignment
Craftsmanship
Aesthetics
Final Exam Exams will measure student achievement of previously covered content standards. Tests will include various types of questioning as well as include performance assessment. They will also include a portfolio presentation of the students’ work thus far. Due to the performance assessment as well as the portfolio presentation, students will be given time to work prior to the day of the scheduled final.
Academic Honesty It is expected that students will use genuine, sincere, and fair means for the accomplishment of tests, tasks, or projects from which evaluations of progress shall be determined. Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to using others' ideas or words without properly citing them, copying another students homework assignments, and/or cutting and pasting from the Internet. Students found plagiarizing, copying or cheating in any way will receive automatic zeros and have phone calls made to their parents. In addition, a write-up of the incident will be given to the student’s counselor. Students may receive a permanent mark on their academic record reflecting their indiscretion and receive an F for the quarter or semester.
Attendance If a student has an excused absence from class he or she is responsible for the assignments/ homework that were missed. The student has two class days for every day he or she was excused absent to make-up the assignment. It is up to the student to inquire about missed work and tests. Zeros will be given if a student fails to make up work within an acceptable timeframe. Unexcused absences void all make-up privileges.
Late Work No late homework or tutorials will be accepted (unless an excused absence is given). Late projects will be accepted with penalty. If a project is turned in late, the student is still responsible for the work; however, credit will be deducted by a “letter grade” every day it is late unless student is working with Mrs.M on completion.
Homework Homework will include various assignments not completed during class time and project planning.
After School Lab After school lab will be held in M1 or M3 on select days.
