Grading Policy

A variety of Assessments (90%) including oral use of Chinese language in class, and homework checked for completion (10%) will determine the student’s grade.


Late and Missing work:

Graded assignments/projects:
Each assignment will have a due date. This is the date by which the student is expected to submit the assignment. The grade on the assignment will drop by 10 % of the total points if the assignment is not turn in by the due date. The deadline is the last day an assignment will be accepted for a grade. In some cases, the due date and the deadline may be the same. Work not turned in by the deadline will receive a zero.

Homework completion
Homework is checked and reviewed on the next day in the classroom. Students will receive only 50% credit if the assignment is later than the due date or incomplete. Students who miss class will be responsible to turn in homework for check.


Retaking quizzes:

Some quizzes may be taken a second time. In order to retake an assessment, the student must have completed all assignments and attend a re-teach/tutoring session. The day and time for both the tutoring session and the make-up assessment will be previously announced by the teacher and only given on that date. Unit tests may not be retaken.
