Each assignment will receive a grade. Some assignments are graded for
accuracy,
some are graded for effort, and some are graded for completion. Late
assignments will always be accepted. In the first quarter there will be
no penalty for late assignments, as long
as they are turned in before the end of the quarter. In the
second quarter, assignments will be penalized 10% for each class day
they are late. In the third quarter,
assignments will be penalized 20% for each class day they are late. In
the fourth quarter, assignments will be
penalized 30% for each class day they are late. The
penalty will never exceed 60%. Therefore, even very late assignments can
receive 40%.
Work turned in on-time may be redone to achieve a grade of B or higher
(with
certain
exceptions such as multiple choice assignments). The importance is for
the
students
to learn the material, not always to get it right the first time. Extra
credit is also
available.
Students may design and propose assignments for extra
credit. Any assignment
which
will clearly increase the student’s knowledge or skills will be
accepted.
