Your grade will be determined by the percentage of points that you have earned during the current grading period.
Quizzes and Map Tests:
Quizzes will consist of about 10% to 15% of your grade. We will have 8 to 10 quizzes every grading period. Most quizzes will be a planned part of the weekly schedule. However, I have been known to give an occasional pop quiz. The key to success will be to read and listen in class. We will also be taking map tests over the area of study.

Test questions will consist of all or some of the following: multiple choice, true or false, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and essay. You will receive an objective sheet on the day that we start a new section. This objective sheet will not only help you on the chapter test, but also your semester final.
