Albin's  Computers Grading

Parent Letter

• Grades are posted on wall by student code.
• Students are responsible for watching the grade posting and letting me know of any mistakes.
• Students are responsible for seeing what they are missing and getting it turned in.
• If you have a question about your grade I want to discuss it with you.  Pick a time when I am not busy.
• Effort grades are based on being on task, cooperative, and trying your best.
• When self-assessing (giving yourself a grade) be sure you can support the grade; if unreasonable I will alter the grade you assign.  Base your grade on:
  • effort you give
  • amount of time on task
  • quality of your work
  • make allowances for being absent, this should not count against you
  • A+    through    F-    are available to you

EXPECTATIONS

1. Cooperate with your teacher and other students
2. Spend your time working on current assignment
3. Assist other students when possible
4. Be in your seat, unless you are getting help or helping someone.
