Grading for GEOMETRY:
Daily Work (60%): Daily work is comprised of homework and in class grades.
No late homework is accepted.
Quiz (40%): Expect 1-3 quizzes per week. You may REDO 1 quiz per 6-weeks grading
period. Before a re-quiz will be given, you must come to tutoring with me at
least once, on a day prior to retaking the quiz. The maximum grade for any
redo is a 70. If you earn less than 70 on the second attempt, the higher of the
two grades will count.

-
NO WORK, NO CREDIT! SHOW YOUR WORK ON ALL ASSIGNMENTS.
Homework will be graded by you in RED PEN. If there are any questions,
they should be addressed either during tutorials or in a set time at the
beginning of class.
Homework may be done in pencil or blue/black pen only.
The maximum grade for any redo is a 70. If you earn less than 70 on the
second attempt, the higher of the two grades will count.
Academic Integrity: Any student found in violation of the school’s
academic integrity policy will be given a zero for that assessment. There will
be no opportunity to redo this assessment.
For UIL eligibility purposes, all redo work must be turned in prior to the end
of the six weeks.
-
Binders will be divided into 4 sections: Vocabulary, Notes, Homework, and
Quizzes. If you want other sections, they may be placed behind these
(paper, theorems, etc.). Your binder will be collected at the end of the 6weeks and graded as two (2) quiz grades. Insert returned papers as soon
as they are handed back to you in chronological order and write down the
grade on your grade sheet.
Classroom Expectations for Success:
Come to class prepared with your brain turned “ON” for learning. Some classes
will be more active than others.
Participation is expected.
Class
time/discussion is the best time to take an educated guess and be wrong –
better there than on your homework/quiz/test. Being wrong is part of learning,
so do not be afraid to contribute to class discussions.
Discipline:
-
1. We will attempt to work things out between us, teacher and student. I
may assign tutorials for missing assignments.
2. If the problem does not require immediate discipline, the next step is a
phone call home.
3. A referral will be written for you to take to the office, and the
Administration will take action from that point on.
