Grading Policy 2001 - 2002
Latin II
All grades will be based on the Grading Scale as listed in the Student Handbook.
The semester grade will be based on your work during each semester according to the following percentages:
40% first quarter grade
40% second quarter grade
20% final examination grade
The quarter grade is computed from the following areas:
• Each major test, review vocabulary test, and principal parts test
• Average of vocabulary quizzes
• Average of grammar quizzes
• Class participation (including homework, class preparation, and oral participation)
• Grade for being on time, bringing textbook and materials, and deportment.
• Power Point Presentations (not every quarter)
The grade of the lowest vocabulary quiz and grammar quiz may be dropped each quarter; the grade of the lowest major test may be dropped during each quarter.
Policy on Make-up Quizzes and Tests
All quizzes and major tests will be announced ahead of time.
If a student misses a test because of illness or a planned absence, the first instance may count as her drop test.
Make-up tests and quizzes may be provided under the following circumstances:
If a student has to miss a class in which a quiz or test will be given because of an athletic event, she may take the quiz or test earlier provided sufficient prior notification has been made and a convenient time can be worked out.
If the student has previously missed one test which counted as her drop test, she is allowed to make up any subsequently missed tests but must do so by the third class after she returns to school or she will lose the points for that test. All quizzes which are missed must be made up likewise by the third class after her return to school.
Policy on Late Work
All written and oral assignments will be checked and/or collected in class when they are due. It is extremely important to keep up with your homework, as it will help you to prepare for tests. I will grade each assignment which is turned in and will give credit for completed homework checked during class.
When you are absent from class, you are expected to hand in on the day of your return any written work due during your absence. Contact a friend to determine the new assignment so that you do not return to class unprepared. Record the phone numbers of at least three students in class whom you can call. In case of an extended absence, some other arrangement will be worked out.
Policy on Assignments
Students are expected to complete all assignments on their own unless otherwise specified.
