Grading+Policy

**__Grading Policy__****:** I assign many types of activities and assessments, from reading exercises to group projects. Short term assignments like homework and class work are usually 10 to 20 points. Tests, quizzes, maps and major projects usually earn about 100 points. I also grade you on your participation in class. Your quarter grade is based on the following weightSs:

Tests, Quizzes, Maps, Projects 50 % Homework, other assignments 40 % Participation 10 %

**__Homework Grading System__****:**  o I collect and grade homework on a regular basis, but not all assignments are graded.  o I __do not__ accept incomplete assignments.  o Late work can be turned in up to 48 hours after it is due. Only half-credit is awarded. After that, no credit is given for late work.  o On daily assignments, I use the following system:

H = A+ = 10 points (100%, excellence) + = A = 9.5 points  Ö + = B = 8.5 points Ö = C = 7.5 points  Ö - = D = 6.5 points
