Classroom Procedures and Grading

  • As the students enter the classroom, there will be a Problem of the Day(10- 50 points) on the board. These will be taken up about two times each week.
  • Homework (10-50 points) will be assigned about three times per week. These assignments will be checked during class and points may be given based on accuracy or completion according to the individual assignment.
  • A participation grade(10-25 points) will be given on days we do activities in class or we go to the computer lab.
  • Quizzes(10-50 points) will be given throughout each unit, and tests or projects (100-200 points) will be given at the end of each unit.

The amount of points recorded will be determined by the number of problems on the assignment.

The student’s grade will be determined by adding the total points they receive and dividing by the number of total points possible.
