My Grading Policy: I use a �Total Points� scoring system. What this means is that each assignment is worth a certain number of points, based on how much work is involved. Your grade is determined by how many points you earn of the total available. There is no weighting for tests vs. quizzes vs. homework, etc.
Points are fun! Collect them all!

Check for errors - yours or mine! ~ If your numbers do not match, let me know before or after school.

After 1 week, ABSENT becomes 0Credit, so make up your work quickly!

Check your grades on the Portal! Make sure that the grade you get is the grade you earned!

There is only 1 point difference between a C and a B. Get all the points you can!

Remember - the best time to get your homework done is *NOW*! Late work loses credit.
