Sra. Burgos Grading Policy

 
 

1.  Grades are given every quarter.

2.  Grades are an average of homework, test, quizzes and participation / cooperation.

3.  All major test and quizzes will be asked to be signed by parent or guardian.  A numerous of unsigned papers will cause a reduction of 5 points on final average.

4.  If I consider the student should make corrections on a test or a quiz, it will be written on top of the test paper.  Corrections will only be graded and considered to increase a grade ONLY if original test/quiz paper is signed.  There will be no corrections on vocabulary quizzes.

5.  There is a unit project for each unit, making three major projects during the school year.  Projects are given at the beginning of the unit with different topics due at different dates.

6.   Homework is given daily with minimal exceptions.  The next day it will be corrected and collected or simply collected depending on time.  The student will only have one day to hand in an assignment.  Making up missing assignments will be handled in an individual case depending in student situation.

7.  Extra credit work for students that are really showing that they are trying and just need more practice will be available.  If work is not turned in when its due the student will not only receive a failing grade but also will not be considered for extra credit work in the future.

8.  All three classes will be taking a commutative final exam in June.  Study guides will be provided and a few weeks of review before the final test will prepare them for the test.  Reminder that each students' responsibility is to study for each and every test.

9.  Progress reports will be given to students if their average is below an 80% at that time or if there is a significant problem with grades or missing homework.  Progress reports may also be given for poor efforts in class and unacceptable classroom behavior.
