<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">80% of each marking period grade is the average of the class assignments. 20% of each marking period grade is the average of the “employability” (participation) grades. All “projects” are worth 100 points. Only totally correctly, truly completed and teacher scored projects earn a 100%. There are no lower (or partial grades) for ‘almost completed’ or ‘almost scored’ assignments. This helps students learn the value of completing what they start. Otherwise, they learn to begin lots of projects and finish nothing. Remember: Getting assignments scored is the students’ responsibility. Students schedule an appointment with me every time they have something ready for scoring. I then can spend one-on-one time to discuss, teach, and score each assignment. Any week without a project or writing score results in a 5 point “Time on Task” grade reduction.
