Grading Policies
Student grades are based on tests, quizzes, projects, Khan Academy, participation, and homework.
Participation - 10%
Participation is monitored on a daily basis. Student tardiness is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Not following classroom rules, not actively participating, and being tardy will take points away from your participation grade.
|
Homework - 10%Homework will be assigned on a frequent basis and will be collected at my discretion. Although not every homework assignment will be collected, the assignments are helpful for you to practice the necessary skills in this class.
|
KHAN ACADEMY - 10%
Khan Academy will be assigned on a weekly basis and will help you practice the skills you will need to be successful in this course. Some skills may be remedial (from earlier classes), while some will be specifically from our course. Mrs. Hernandez will help you set up your account with the correct access codes.
Assessments - 50%
Projects - 20%
The dates of upcoming assessments/projects will be accessible in the "Course Calendar and Assignments" tab and the syllabus, and will be announced in class. Tests will be announced 1 week before and quizzes will be announced 1 day before. The projects will be announced in class and you will be given a rubric that specifically identifies the objectives and expectations.
Classroom Rules
Mrs. Hernandez expects students to follow the proceeding rules. Any students not following the rules will be given ONE warning and then participation points will be taken away. If a student continues to break any of these rules, I will make phone calls home, give detentions, or use other methods as necessary.
- Be in the classroom when the tardy bell rings.
- Only use appropriate language. (No cursing, name calling, etc.)
- No food or drinks during class.
- Do not throw things. (Trash must be walked to the trashcan.)
