    Tests

    Tests generally take an entire period to complete and are based on information that we have covered over a two to three week period.  Students are usually given two to three days to prepare.

    Quizzes

    (25% of average)
    Quizzes generally take about 20 minutes to complete and are based on smaller units of information that we have covered over a one to two day period.  Students are usually given one day to prepare.

    Homework

    (20% of average)
    Homework will be graded as follows:
    • Completed when you enter the classroom and corrected with the class = 100
    • Anything else = 0
    • You may complete any late assignment up to one week from the date it was assigned and make arrangements to go over it for a grade of 65
    • Absent students have one week to turn in late homework with no penalty.  After a week, the grade becomes a permanent zero.  Special arrangements may be made for extended absences.
