POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Grading Policies:

The system for grading is points based. Each test is worth 100 points. There will be 4 tests for each quarter, unless otherwise specified to the class. The homework will be checked everyday. At the end of the quarter HW will be worth 100 points. For each HW missing 10 points is subtracted from the total 100 points. Homework can not be submitted late. ALL late assignments are factored in as missing work. Additionally each student is assigned a major assignment each quarter. The questions that come from the major assignments are questions from the text book that are associated with the style of the AP test given in May.
