Grades
Marking period grades will be an accumulation of the following:
Daily
Daily grades are 30% of the student' grade. These may include homework, daily grades, and class participation.
Quiz
Quiz grades are 20% of the student's grade. These may include laboratory experiences (group or individual) and other formative assessments such as quizzes or assignments that require multilple days to complete.
Major Grades
Major grades are 50% of the student's grade. These may include exams, major projects, or class interactive notebook checks. Composition book needs to be kept up to date and can be graded at any time. Students will be required to memorize and perform (for me) 3 songs this year for a major grade. The links for these songs will be posted under my Websites tab. The student will have approximately 2 weeks to complete this project. I understand that students must miss school occasionally. If your student is absent and their work cannot be completed at home for whatever reason, I respectfully request that the student stay after for next tutorial session to fill in the learning they have missed. My tutorial day is Monday after school. However, other Science teachers are available various mornings and afternoons.
