Grading Policy
I do not weight my grades. Everything is passed on points or a rubric. Projects and tests are worth more points than homework and assignments.
Science
Homework/in class work (3 - 25 points)
Tests and Projects (50 - 150 points)
Quizzes (15 - 40 points)
Homework and Assignments will be accepted late, for 10% off the grade - Students that turn in late work cannot earn an A on the late work.
Trimester 1 - Late work will only be accepted until a week after we finish the unit.
Trimester 2 - Late work will only be accepted until 2 weeks after the due date.
Trimester 3 - Late work will only be accepted until 1 week after the due date.
Almost all assignments can be redone for a higher grade. Students that redo an assignment cannot earn an A on the redo.
On assignments that are worksheets the highest grade that can be achieved on a late or redo is a B.
Test and Projects can be retaken up to 2 weeks after the due date.
Academic Dishonesty - Any student caught cheating will be given a "0"/F on the assignment/test/project. The student cannot redo or retake the assignment/test/project. The student's citizenship and effort grades will be lowered. Parents will be notified. Cheating includes coping another student's work, plagiarizing, coping from the internet without proper citations, claiming another person's ideas or thoughts are theirs and any variation of these.
Using AI is cheating and the student will receive a "0"/F on the assignment/test/project and the student cannot redo or retake the assignment/test/project.
