Key Points to be Successful from the beginning Students need to participate Get Help in class or at break or lunch Use Online Resources Stay current on homework Take retests if needed

GRADING SCALE Weighted Grade 85% is Assessments 15% is Work  A = 90% - 100%  B = 80% - 89%  C = 70% - 79%  D = 60% - 69%  F = 59% AND BELOW

HOMEWORK  Assigned daily  Rubric  5 points – Perfect homework  4 point – No information or missing only a couple of problems only a couple of problems  3 points - not done or not completed.  2 points – Missing multiple problems  1 point – Late and turned in after test
