    Grading: Your 10-week grade will comprise of the following:

    · PARTICIPATION (5%)

    Students will be graded in participation by the following: attendance, being prepared, willingness to work with others, and behavior.

    · HOMEWORK (15%)

    Assigned homework is due at the beginning of the class. Late homework will not be accepted unless legally absent (an excused absence i.e. illness, approved field trip, death in the family) from school.

    ·         FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS (30%)

    What are formative assessments?  These are assignments that are a measure of the students learning “as they go.”  It is what the student knows right at that moment in time. These formative assessments will/may include the following:  POP NOTEBOOK QUIZZES, take home quizzes, reading quizzes, graded homework (will be notified when assigned), lab checks (check in on procedure/progress), and interviews in class or lab.  

     

    ·         SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS (50%)

    What are summative assessments?  These are assignments that are a measure of the content of the course, the learning standards.  In other words they are assessments that get you ready for the Regents exams.   Summative assessments will/may include the following:  classroom quizzes (that are not take home or open book), content based tests, labs.

     

    Students will be notified before a classroom quiz or test is given.  Students who are late to class will have no extra time to complete the quiz/test than those students who arrived on time, so please be punctual.  Test/quizzes will be given under the guidelines used for administering Regents exams.  Behavior outside of these guidelines will result in NO CREDIT.

     

    LABORATORY

    New York State requires that students complete 1200 minutes of lab.  Therefore, lab attendance is required.

     

    Students absent from lab MUST MAKE UP LAB TIME OUTSIDE OF CLASS.  Lab due dates are set by the instructor.  All labs must be turned in at the ONE WEEK BEFORE THE END OF THE QUARTER to receive credit for the lab.  Any lab not turned in at the time that grades are posted will receive a 0. A student may correct a poorly done lab for a maximum grade of an 80.

    Students absent from lab MUST MAKE UP LAB TIME OUTSIDE OFSTUDENTS STUDENTS WHO DO NOT MET LAB REQUIREMENTS CANNOT TAKE THE REGENTS OR SUMMER SCHOOL AND THEY REPEAT THE COURSE.
