10. Grading All assignments will be graded on a point system
Tests will always be graded out of 100 points
Formative grades can be anywhere between points, depending on the assignment

11. Grading Example: Texas Bumper Sticker: 25 points
Chapter 4 Organizer: 75 points
Open Note Quiz: 30 points
Chapter 4 GPERSIA: 50 points
Unit 1 Test: 100 points
So, we all solemnly swear we will not freak out if it says “50” in the gradebook. We will look and see how many points it was worth 1st!

12. Late Work Policy
If you do not turn in an assignment, a “Z” will be put into the grade book until it is turned in.
If you are absent, an “A” will be put in the grade book until the assignment is turned in. If you don’t turn it in on assigned day, a “Z” will be assigned until you turn it in.
Once you have turned in a late assignment, you are expected to attend the next tutoring session to grade your work with me.
