Grading Policy
Grading guidelines will be consistent with the school-wide grading
policy available on the B-CC web-site.
90% of the marking period grade will be based on formative and
summative assessments which may include homework, class work,
quizzes, unit tests, projects, oral presentations, and writing
assignments. These assignments will be graded.
Assignments checked only for completion, such as homework, class
work and warm-ups, will account for 10% of the marking period
grade.
Each assignment will have a due date. This is the date by which
the student is expected to submit the assignment. Grades will
drop 10% if the assignment is not submitted by the due date.
The deadline is the last day that an assignment will be accepted.
In some cases the due date and the deadline will be the same.
Work not turned in by the deadline will be recorded as a zero.
Reassessment procedures:
In some cases students will have an opportunity to redo an assignment/assessment.
There will be at least one opportunity per unit of study to redo
an assessment. Summative assessments (presentations, tests) may
not be redone. To qualify for a reassessment, students must complete
all practice activities assigned for HW and also complete the
required reteaching exercises offered by the teacher.
Please be advised there will be no opportunities for extra credit.
