(Homework, Participation, Preparedness, Notebook)
Late or Missing Work:
If students have missing or late work they will lose 10 points the first day it is late and one point for each additional day. Illness or other mitigating factors will be considered.
Preparedness Grade:
Students will receive a grade for their preparedness for class throughout each quarter. Every student will start the quarter with a grade of “100” for their preparedness for class. Failure to bring necessary materials to class will result in the loss of 1 points from their pr preparedness grade. For example, if Mary forgot her notebook once during week one, she would at the end of that week have a grade of “99” for preparedness.
Participation Grade:
Students will also receive a grade for their participation throughout each quarter. Every student will also start the quarter with a grade of “100 for their participation in class. Failure to participate in class (refusing to answer any questions, not helping their group with a group assignment, not completing warm-ups) will result in a loss of 1 points from their participation grade. For example, every student needs to raise their hand to attempt to participate in class.
Homework:
In general, there will be no homework assignments. The only time students should be doing homework is when they have not completed their class work.
Notebook and Portfolio Grade
Student notebooks will be kept in the form of a three-ring binder with notebook paper. Additionally, all handouts will be given to students already hole punched, so that students can immediately clip them into their binder. Students are expected to keep a thorough, clean, and organized notebook at all times. At the end of each quarter, notebooks will be collected and students will be given a grade for their notebook’s neatness and completeness. In terms of completeness, students should keep all handouts from class, all outlines, and all notes in their binder. In order to help students stay organized, a “teacher’s edition” notebook will be kept on the front desk so that students may check their notebook with it to make sure that it is well-kept.
