Grading Policy
-Grades will reflect individual achievement of course objectives
and will be
computed out of the total number of points possible;
-All skills are evaluated: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Students are
expected to demonstrate mastery of these skills through
active involvement in
classroom activities. One of our most important objectives
is to speak in French
at all times;
-Grades will be based on formative assessments, which measure
student learning
during the course of a unit of study. These may include
homework, classwork,
quizzes, oral presentations, and writing assignments.
There will also be
summative assessments, which measure learning at the
end of a unit of study.
These may include unit tests and projects.
-Homework completion will count for 10% of the grade.
-Each assignment will have a due date and a deadline. The due
date is the one by
which the student is expected to submit the assignment.
Grades will drop one
letter grade or 10% of the grade if the assignment
is submitted after the due date
and prior to the deadline.
-The deadline is the last day that an assignment will be accepted
for a grade. In
some classes, the due date and the deadline may be
the same. Work not turned
in by the deadline will be considered missing. Missing
work will be recorded as
a zero.
EXTRA CREDIT: The MCPS grading policy does not
allow for extra credit.
Students will be provided with a grid to chart their own grades
and to compute their grade at any time.
There will be opportunities for reassessment consistent with
B-CC policies.

Plagiarism:
-Submitting
or presenting another person’s work as your own without
proper
documentation,
including downloaded information from the Internet and lab
data. The use of online translators will not be tolerated.
-Using
another student’s material without prior approval.
Cheating:
-Giving
or receiving information during a test, quiz, and/or class work
assignment
without
teacher authorization.

hand signals, gestures, and the like during tests or quizzes to
obtain/give
