Grading Scale

 

Grades are determined by four components with each counting 25% of the total grade.  These components are:  tests/quizzes, daily grades, journals, and projects.  Also, there will be a “special project” assigned each nine weeks that will be counted as 25% of your total grade for the nine weeks.
