Grading

Tests and Quizzes—30%

Attendance—10% of your semester grade

I strongly believe in attending school on a regular basis.  So, you do earn a grade for your attendance for the semester.  That grade is based on the following absences:

                                    1-2       A

                                    3-4       B

                                    5          C

                                    6          D

                                    7+        F

 

Class rules and expectations are to be met at all times.  If a student deviates from proper procedure, regular discipline action will be taken.
