GRADING AND EVALUATION:
Grades are based on work completed; from start to finish. Approximately 2 weeks after an assignment is presented, a grade of 50% will be entered into the grade book until the item is turned in and graded. These late grades will be indicated by an ending in a decimal point of xx.3 or xx.7. Graded items will end in xx.0 or xx.5.
The percentage of the weighted point totals will be assigned grades as follows:
Grading Scale
A / Above 93% / C+ / Above 78 %A- / 91 / C / 73
B+ / 88 / C- / 70
B / 85 / D+ / 66
B- / 81 / D / 60
F / Below 60%
Lower then 60% will result in a failing grade for this class all late assignments are due one week before AHS grading date (progress reports, quarter and semester grades). Absent students will need to arrange with the instructor on an individual basis to access art lab. No makeup grades for unexcused absences.
