Assessments:

Students are assessed by a variety of daily assignments, quizzes, tests, projects, presentations and discussions.

Plagiarism:

Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Papers found to be plagiarized will be given a zero. Also, cheating of any kind will result in the loss of credit for the assignment or quiz/test.

Grading Procedures:

A student’s grade is based on completion of daily tasks and assignments meant to strengthen their understanding of a topic and unit assessments. In order to assess the knowledge a student has obtained the teacher uses various assessments. If any assessment has not been completed a student cannot be accurately graded. Thus, all assessments must be completed before a grade can be determined.

All late work is marked down by 40%. Late work for a unit will not be graded once a unit is completed.

Students who are absent have two days for each day they were absent to complete make- up work. Absences which are unexcused do not receive this opportunity.
