GRADING POLICY
1. HOMEWORK: 10%: (Note) one day late will result in a loss of 10 points. Homework, if not handed in on the assigned due date, will only be collected one day late. Per student handbook, every day of absence yields two days for make up.
2. TRIMESTER ASSESSMENTS: 10%
3. QUIZZES: 15% This applies to announced and/or pop quizzes.
4. IN-CLASS WORK: 35% (Late class work will NOT be accepted; these are assignments due by the period’s end)
5. TESTS/PROJECTS/PRESENTATIONS: 40% (Late projects/presentations will lose 5 points per day up to a total of 20 points off the grade given, not off 100 points.)
6. CLASS PARTICIPATION: Participation is a positive direction for your grade. It is only meant to enhance your grade. It will not be used to penalize your grade.
Your final English grade is determined by taking 90% of the grade earned in class with 10% earned on the DWA for each trimester.
My signature attests that I understand these rules and will abide by them although I may not agree with them.
