Grading:
Classwork = 60%
Assessments = 40%
I DO NOT give Retakes. Students are given the Opportunity to improve any Assessment grade by making corrections and can earn up to 1/2 the points missed back for their final grade.
I DO NOT give Homework. All classwork and assignments will be completed in class. IF a student does not complete their work in the allotted class time, the student may complete the work outside of the classroom and turn it in for a grade.
