Several methods of grading optional to instructor (credit for complete attempt, random check, initials for complete attempt/complete notes, straight grade.)

Term Grade Determination

Points Earned / Points Possible at time of term report

Semester Grade Calculation

Both marking periods will be worth 40% and the semester exam will value 20% of the final semester grade. Semester grade is calculated by percentages earned. Students must pass two of the three to receive credit for the semester.  

Daily Assignments 10-20 pts.  

Major Written Papers / Projects 50-100 pts.  

Quizzes 10-40 pts.  

Tests/Exams 50-100 pts.  

Issues of Credit

Do not plan on incomplete or late work getting consideration for credit of any sort.  Just turning work in does not constitute points.  Quality work is expected.

Grades posted on-line (student connect / parent connect) approximately every two weeks, allowing students to monitor progress, check for discrepancies and/or missing assignments. 

Missing work due to excused absence?  Interested in rewriting a major paper?  Once grades posted, students have until next posting to get work turned in to instructor.  After this time frame, no adjustments will be made.

Extra Credit opportunities are instructor’s option not the student’s right.  Extra Credit to be posted includes local/professional theatre, approved writing contests/literary magazine, cultural expansion opportunities, community service.  Individual EC opportunities are not available.

Save yourself from future disappointment and assume you have homework every night.  There are always several things in the works, so students will have choices to make during class, as well as deciding what should be taken home.
