Grade Proportions:

Grading Breakdown

Evaluation of your progress will be based on your performance on tests, projects, class participation, and homework.

Half of your grade will be based on tests. There are fifteen of these over the course of the school year. The remaining 50% of your grade comprises understanding of the material you demonstrate by doing homework, completing projects, and participating in class.

Other Grading Matters

Hand work must be completed using a pencil

All hand work (classwork, homework, and tests; typically) must be completed using a pencil. Any of this work that is submitted in pen may be penalized 10%.
