Most quizzes can also be corrected and passed back in for further credit. There will be one assessment test per unit of study. Again, the tests will be corrected and returned to students. Make-up tests can be arranged if necessary. During each unit, students can expect to be working on at least one project.
Projects are either with a cooperative group, a partner or on an individual basis.
At times I use a rubric for grading projects as well. Rubrics are designed for all involved to know the requirements and expectations for projects. Students can look at their rubric and compare it to their project and determine what else needs to be done to receive the highest grade. All assignments whether class or homework will receive a 2-point penalty per day that it is late. A 5-point penalty per day will be assigned to late projects.
