    Grades/Coursework:

    Grading follows the accepted school-wide grading scale:A 93-100 B+ 88-89 C+ 78-79 D+ 68-69 F 59 and belowA- 90-92 B 83-87 C 73-77 D 63-67

    B- 80-82 C- 70-72 D- 60-62

    Each assignment is worth points, varied according to difficulty and importance. There arefour grade categories: Tests/Long Writing Assignment, Quizzes/Short Writing Assignment,

    Homework, and Classwork (including participation/discussion grades). Semester grades will

    be rounded up only if within 0.3% and all assignments have been turned in.

    Extra Credit:

    Extra credit will be available to all students equally and will not be created to save astudents grade. Extra credit will be in the form of completed study guides, extra test/quiz

    questions, or extra worksheets or projects. Extra credit will never be more than 3% of a units

    points, and thus will only boost a grade, not save it.

    Absences/Late Work/ Leaving Class:

    Homework is always due at the start of class and large projects will have a specified due

    date, given when the project is assigned. All acceptable work is valuable and will be acceptedlate, but with a penalty of 25% perschoolday, not dropping below 25% credit. It is the

    students responsibility to collect material from a missed class. All work is posted on thewebsite and handouts are available from the in-class filing cabinet.

    All students should make every effort to be in class at all times. However, illness does

    happen and extra-curricular activities do sometimes take a student away from the classroom.If you are ill, try to email me so I can help you stay caught up from home. If you are very ill,

    we will make special arrangements. For each day you are absent you have one day tomake up your work(sick 1 day= 1 extra day, sick 2 days= 2 extra days). If it is a planned

    absence (doctors appt., school activity, etc.) you MUST see me prior to being out of classand submit any work that is due as well as collect all work you will be missing. This work is

    due the first day you return and will be penalized after that.

    It is expected that when the bell rings, students have gathered all necessary materials for class

    and have used the restroom. Therefore, no passes will be given to go to lockers or getmaterials that were not brought to class.
