Grading Plan rev. june 4_2018

How your grade is determined

Nine-week grades are determined by the following categories and percentages:

Homework 10%

Formative grades 0%

Summative grades 90%

Daily classwork: Many assignments are graded on satisfactory completion of the daily assignment. Daily classwork assignments are due on the day they are assigned. A 50 will be recorded if the daily assignment is not done. Daily assignments may only be made up for excused absences.

Projects: Assignments for projects usually contain criteria and problem solving content encompassing the entire range of cognitive abilities. The student will exhibit knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation in almost all assignments completed for a grade. Evaluation is determined by the proper execution of criteria contained in each assignment (Were all the specifications & conditions accurately met? Are minimum standards and competencies exhibited? Is the work professionally prepared and presented? etc.). Projects usually take more than one class period and count more than daily assignments. Projects are due on the due date. A grade of 50 will be recorded if the assignment is not done. If project work is late and must be made up, the makeup period may be extended to 2 class periods for a maximum grade of 80.

I utilize rubrics, score sheets and checklists to determine the numeric grade for most projects.

Homework: The purpose of homework is to help reinforce what was taught in class. Sometimes its purpose is to gather extra information beyond what was taught in class

Formative assessment: The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Formative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value.

Summative assessment: The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value.
