About Ms. Davidson

What Will We Be Doing This Year?

What Else?

How Will I Be Graded? Marking Period Grades will be calculated as follows: Participation                                                       10% Quizzes*                                                              30% Tests                                                                      20% Homework/Classwork:                                  20% Projects:                                                               20%   *Any skills tested in the classroom will represent a quiz grade.  Due to the obvious importance of hands on skills in the health field, I apply more weight to quiz grades than test grades.
