Grading

Quarterly grades are based on a point system with the following components:

  • Homework= 2-5 points per assignment; opportunity to correct for full credit
  • Classwork = 5-10 points per assignment; opportunity to correct for full credit
  • Quizzes = 40-50 points
  • Unit Tests* = 100 points  

*No re-dos on summative assessments 

  • First semester grade (S1) is the average of Q1 and Q2
  • Second semester grade (S2) is the average of Q3 and Q4
  • Final exam = 10% of final (Y1) grade
  • 45% S1 grade + 45% S2 grade + 10% final exam grade = year end (Y1) grade
