Grades in my classes are broken down into two
categories: daily and tests. Daily work consists of all homework and work done in class as well as daily quizzes. Tests consists of chapter tests, assignment sheets (KOT sheets) being signed by a parent each 3 weeks, and any projects. The percentages for each category are as follows: DAILY WORK 50% TESTS 50% |
|
KOT sheets are assignment sheets that students
are supposed to fill out each day. They are to write their assignments on this sheet as well as their grades. There is a place for parent signature each week. At the end of three weeks I take these up and if they have been filled out correctly and signed by a parent each week they receive a 100 for a test grade. This is meant to HELP your child's test average as well as keep you informed of their progress. |

Students have the opportunity to correct each
test, get it signed by a parent, and return it to me for 5 extra points added to that test grade. Unfortunately most students do not take advantage of this opportunity. If we take 3 tests in one nine weeks, that is 15 points they could have had added into their test average. Five points really adds up the more tests we take! |
