• World Languages: Grading Policy

     

    All grades will be determined by a TOTAL POINT SYSTEM. 

     

    In order to determine your grade for the marking period, add up all the points you earned and divide it by the number of possible points you could have earned.  For example, if the total points you earned is 275 out of 300 possible points, divide 275 by 300 (then move the decimal point over two spaces to the right) = 91.7… you get an A-! ( This has been changed during virtual/hybrid learning to Assessments/Tests/Quizzes/ 70%, Participation/Classwork 20% ,Homework 10%)

     

    1. Tests (50-100 points each), Quizzes (5-50 points each), if applicable (10-50 points each)

    • Speaking, reading, writing, and/or listening.
    • Notice will always be given before a test , but may or may not be given before a quiz.
    • You have two days per day you were absent from a quiz or test.

     

    1. Projects (10-50 points each)
    • Oral and/or written.
    • Individual, pair, or group.
    • Various forms of art, media, technology, etc.

     

    1. Homework (1-3 points each)
    • Assigned and graded on a regular basis.
    • Must be completed on the day it is due.  Late homework will not be accepted, unless you are absent.  If you are absent, it is your responsibility to present the missed homework assignment to the teacher as soon as you come back.  If you do not show your homework to the teacher, it will count as a zero!

     

    1. Class Participation (5-10 points each)

     Grades can be accessed in the Genesis Grade book; however, students are also encouraged to keep track of their own grades.
