VII. Evaluation Criteria
A. Nature of all Graded Criteria: 1. Each student will receive an attendance grade according to the following scale: 0-2=A; 3-4=B; 5-6=C; 7-8=D; 9 or more=F.
2. There will be weekly homework. 3. There will be two unit exams incorporating skills learned throughout the semester. 4. The final exam will be a two-hour comprehensive examination integrating material from the entire course.
B. Weight of Each Criterion: One’s final grade in the course will result from an averaging of the scores from the attendance, homework assignments, unit exams, and final exam.
Attendance 25% of grade Average of homework assignments 25% of grade Average of three unit exam scores 25% of grade Final exam score 25% of grade 100% Total
The grading scale to be used for all exams and for the overall course grade averaging is as follows:
90% - 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 0% - 59% = F
C. Late Assignments/Exams: 1. Late assignments will lose one grade level for each scheduled class period
beyond the due date. 2. Make-up exams will be scheduled on an individual basis and 10 full
percentage points will be deducted from the final score. 3. Extra credit will be available in the form of a concert review. A set of
procedures for the concert review will be provided at the beginning of the semester.
