Instead, student grades will be determined based on the following weighted categories:20%PracticeWarm-ups, in-class activities, homework, and class participation.60%Assessments*Quizzes, tests, and selected projects. 20%FinalCumulative Semester Final ExamGrading (continued):Homework: Homework will be given daily. It will be completed by the start of class the following school day. In order to receive full credit, you must do the following: Copy the provided diagrams or create and label the appropriate diagram needed to solve the problem.Show all work as evidence that each problem was thoroughly explored.Leave no problems blank. As a substitute you can:Write down a question you have about the problem.Tell me what you are stuck on.Google your question and try again.When correcting your work, do not erase your work but rather cross out and rework elsewhere. Assessments:Units 1-5 each have 2 announced district assessments. Unit 6, if time allows, has 1 announced teacher assessment. Unit assessments cover material taught throughout the entire unit. Quizzes are also administered periodically throughout each unit. Absence Policy: Refer to the student handbook, available online, for further explanation. Summary provided below.For absences less than three days, it is the student’s responsibility to ascertain the assignments for the days missed. For absences of three days or more, parents may request that student services personnel collect homework assignments. Typically, the collection of homework requires a one-day turnaround. Students who have a pre-excused absence are allowed to make up work missed during the absence. When assignments are provided by the teacher before the student leaves, the student is required to turn in the assignments upon return to each class. Exceptions may be made with teacher discretion.For an excused illness absence, the student is entirely responsible for requesting the make-up work from the teacher. Tests/quizzes will be scheduled at the convenience of the teacher. Students will be given one school day for each day of excused absence to make up assignments and tests. Additional considerations will be given for students with extended illnesses. Expectations and Tips for Success:Arrive to class on time with all required materials and be in your seat by the bell.Do your homework completely on the night it is assigned.Make flashcards to help you master the theorems, postulates, definitions and formulas.Check your homework carefully and correct any errors.Take detailed and accurate notes.Strive for 100% attendance.
