Grading

• Grades will be based on a point system. Points will be assigned for in class assignments, projects, homework, tests, and quizzes.

 

• Due Dates for projects are strictly enforced. Assignments and homework that are not handed in on time will only be worth half credit. It is crucial that you are aware of when things are due and to get your assignments in on time. You are strongly encouraged to come in for extra help or when you need extra time to work on projects!

Tests and Quizzes

• If you miss the day of a quiz or test, you will be expected to make it up within three days of your return. Points will be deducted for any test or quiz not made up in a timely manner.

 

Cheating Policy

Students caught cheating on a quiz, test, or classroom assignment will automatically receive a zero on the assignment. If caught cheating again, a call home will be made and you will be written up. Copying and Pasting work or changing the names on the same document and printing out multiple copies is considered cheating.
