Effort 10 %
extra credit options

 

bulletGrades are posted weekly, as much as possible, by student code.
bulletStudents are responsible for watching the grade posting and letting me know of any mistakes.
bulletStudents are responsible for seeing what they are missing and getting it turned in.
bulletStudents should save all returned papers until the end of the quarter, either in binder or at home.  This is in case a question comes up about missing work.
bulletIf you miss a quiz, make it up on the following Friday - ASK ME FOR IT.
bulletIf you have a question about the grading on a paper or your notebook, you must show me the paper or "notebook grading rubric" when you come with your question.
bulletIf you have a question about your grade I want to discuss it with you.  HOWEVER in class when I am busy is not the time.  It is best to talk to me about it before or after school, or set up a time with me.  If I am not busy we can discuss it during class, but I am generally pretty busy in class.  Bring the work or grading sheet you are questioning  with you.
bulletEffort grades are based on bringing pens, pencils, paper, binder, book every day, taking your book with you when you leave, and on working as assigned (being on task).
bulletMakeup Work

bulletExtra Credit  (called ECs), are a way to earn extra credit, occaisionally used as makeup.  They are described further on the Extra Credits page.
bulletECs are only to be worked on when the current day's assignment is completed.  They may be done outside of class time OR if you finish early one day.
