Core Algebra II Grading
Core Algebra II grades are determined by
homework,
quizzes/tests, and a
final examination on this
grading scale.
Homework (27% of overall grade)
10 out of 10 points
- The assignment was completed on time with appropriate work shown.
- An assignment is almost always accepted one day late and considered "on time" because students my have been lost or stuck on several problems, but then understood after going over the assignment in class the following day.
6 out of 10 points
- The assignment was completed with appropriate work shown, but not submitted "on time."
- Late work is accepted for up to one week from the original due date.
0 out of 10 points
- The assignment was never totally completed with appropriate work shown within one week of the original due date.
Quizzes/Tests (63% of overall grade)
Quizzes and tests
- Quizzes and tests are always announced in advance (no surprises).
- Practice quizzes and tests are also available.
- Missed quizzes/tests may need to be made up outside of class time.
- A missed quiz/test must be made up by one week after it was initially given or the grade for that quiz/test can become a “0.”
Test & quiz corrections
- After most tests or quizzes, students have the opportunity to correct the work they had incorrect on the test or quiz. These corrections are worth 10% of the points the test or quiz was worth. Students may need to work on test and quiz corrections in VIP/Homeroom.
Returned pass coupons
- Students receive three pass coupons at the start of the semester and halfway (approximately nine weeks) through the semester. Unused pass coupons can be returned for extra quiz/test points (usually two or three points apiece).
Final Examination (10% of overall grade)
- This is a cumulative evaluation of material learned and applied throughout the semester.
