Tests................................................................................................................................40%
Tests: Students retention of course content is assessed periodically, usually weekly. A Mid-Term and Final Exam will be administered. Students will be tested at the end of each chapter and unit. Chapter tests consist of problems and matching vocabulary, true/false, and multiple-choice questions. The time required to complete a chapter test is usually 30–40 minutes. Unit tests are designed like chapter tests and are administered after completing four to five chapters. Unit tests usually require about 40–50 minutes to complete. If a student misses a test, it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to make up the test within three-school days from the date of absence. A fair and reasonable amount of time will be made to accommodate students with lengthy absences.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned, collected and graded.
All late work
will be given one grade less for each day late up to 2 days. After 2
days the grade will be ‘0’. If a student is absent or ill, they will
have one week from the date of absence to make up all work.
Quizzes:
Student’s retention of course content will be assessed periodically and
a grade will be given. If a student plans to be absent, they should
contact the teacher and arrange for the quiz to be taken before
the date of absence. Teacher Evaluation: This subjective grade will include daily attendance, student behavior, classroom preparation, homework, daily work effort, and a notebook that should be updated daily and class participation. (Preparation includes a student’s ability to bring required materials to class on a daily basis.)
