All assignments will fall into one of the following categories: Homework, Tests/Quizzes, Classwork, and Porjects. The student's grade will be calculated by dividing the points earned by the total number of points available in the class. Grading Scale A+: 100-98% A: 97-93% A-: 92-90% B+: 89-88% B: 87-83% B-: 82-80% C+: 79-78% C: 77-73% C-: 72-70% D+: 69-68% D: 67-63% D-: 62-60% F: 59-0% Tardy Policy The students and teacher will follow the school's regulations regarding tardiness. Homework Students will have a homework assignment everyday except on Fridays. The assignment will be related to the day's lesson. If a student is absent he/she is expected to make-up any assignments missed. If students are absent one day they will have one day to turn in any missing work. Any late homework will only receive half credit. Homework assignments will be written on the board. Journal All students are required to have a journal for this class. At the beginning of class each day there will be a journal question on the board which students are to answer in their journals. I will let students know when journals will be collected.
