Grading will be based on a percentage of points possible. Grades will be determined by the accumulation of points earned through completion of homework, take-home essays, independent activities, reading quizzes and notes, small group activities, projects, unit examinations and other assignments. Class participation is used to validate or raise a grade, never to lower it. Each progress report grade is an indicator ONLY of the work being done by the student for that marking period, not a grade in the course. A passing progress report grade does not mean that a student will necessarily pass the class.
All work is to be turned in the day it is due.
Late work is subject to the Conval policy as stated in the Student Handbook. In other words, I do not like to accept late work. All work is due at the beginning of the class period unless otherwise stated. If you have a problem with a deadline, see me before the due day. It is your responsibility to check that calendar.
