How to calculate your grade
Each assignment will be given a point value. These values will be added together and divided by the number of assignments to give you an average. In-class assignments, take-home assignment and participation points will make up eighty percent of your grade. The other twenty percent will be from your exams.
Late Work Policy
All assignments will be posted for the current and next week. If you are absent on a day something is due, the assignment is due when you return. All other unexcused late work will be taken up to one week after the assignment's due date with a 20% deduction.
Testing Policy
Studying for your tests is very important. You need to be prepared for each class and each exam. We understand that some subjects are harder to learn than others. Students who fail a test will be allowed to retake it. So that you do not take advantage of this, there will be a 20% reduction on all retakes. So, the maximum grade you can receive on a retake of a test in an 80%. Therefore, it is in your best interest to study and come to class prepared the first time. Test retakes will be available to be taken before or after school within one week of the original test date. They will NOT be offered during class time, so DO NOT ASK.
