QUIZZES (30% of Grade) Each quiz consists of 5 questions and quizzes are designed to assess the most essential concepts that we cover. Students must receive a grade of 80% or better to pass each quiz (this policy is common across the whole math department). Each quiz is worth 50 points and the retake score is worth 150 points.
IF YOU SCORE BELOW 80%... then you are to correct the missed problems on the back of the quiz, get them checked off by Mr. Crockett (or another math teacher), and then you can retake the quiz. There is a teacher designated for quiz retakes during FLEX everyday but Monday and I am available before and after school most days. IF YOU ONLY MISSED ONE QUESTION... then you will get a 4/5 on the quiz score and a 12/15 on the retake score. However, I will allow you to fix the one question that you missed and receive a 15/15 on the retake score. IF YOU GOT 100% ON THE QUIZ THE FIRST TIME... then you will receive 100% of the points for the original quiz score as well as the retake score. You might also consider patting yourself on the back as well.
TESTS (35% of Grade) A summative test will be given at the end of each unit. A smart student will prepare by reviewing the material and practicing the concepts being tested. Test retakes are not permitted. However, I will allow students to earn test points by correcting questions that they missed on the test.
ASSIGNMENTS (35% of Grade) Assignments will be given regularly, and will usually be corrected and collected the following class period. Assignments are designed to provide the practice necessary to master the key concepts discussed in class. Assignments missed due to an excused absence will not be penalized if they are completed in a timely manner upon returning. IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT, ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED AND NECESSARY WORK MUST BE SHOWN. Late Work: Late homework is accepted for partial credit.
