GRADING POLICIES:
-A separate “Classwork/Homework Grade” will be earned based on the percentage of assignments completed and submitted on time. Work submitted late = 10% deducted per day.
-An assignment will be due nearly every day, with two days’ advance notice provided in most cases.
-Students in school, but not in class, are still responsible for any work assigned or due. See me.
-Extra credit may be earned through independent reading and/or writing. See me.
-Homework & Quizzes counted x 1; Essays & Vocab. Tests counted x 2; Lit. Tests counted x 3
[6-Week Average = Classwork/Homework grade + Test/Quiz/Essay grade + P Q R grade (total divided by 3)]
