Grading Policies
Grading Scale You will need 65 points to pass this cycle with a grade of 65 and 90 points to get a grade of 90 or better.
Grading Explanation: Grades are based on the point system.
Homework assignments are given on the first day of every week. Each homework assignment is worth 2 points.
On time attendance in class is worth 1 point and class participation is worth another point. Late students get just a half point. There is a 10-minute grace period and after that the student is late. After a half hour the student is considered absent and no points will be given.
The in-class project is worth 20 points. The performance is also worth 20 points. Other Grading Policies: Late Assignments: Homework assignments are due one week following when they are given. Any homework handed in after that week will be worth half. The in class project is due by the end of the cycle.
Plagiarism Statement: Students are allowed to copy material from websites in their assignments as long as they cite references. Students are allowed to collaborate on their in-class assignments as long as such collaboration is acknowledged. If no mention is made of such material the assignment or project will not count towards a final grade and no points will be given.
Make-Up Assignments and Exams: Make-up assignments will be given if a student has a valid excuse that has been verified by the attendance office.
Incomplete or Partial Credit: No incomplete or partial credit will be given at the end of the cycle. Failing students will be eligible for “credit recovery” if they are present and on time at least 50% of the class time.
Other: Students must be present in class at least 80% of the cycle to pass the class.
