GRADING SCHEME

PRECALCULUS
MR. AMUNDSON

Points will be accumulated in each of three categories: homework, quizzes and
tests. Homework is an area in which you practice the knowledge demonstrated
in class and review concepts from previous lessons. Homework will be graded
on an effort basis. Five to ten points will be awarded assignments completely
attempted. (More content will be given more points). Lower than full point values
will be awarded assignments given less than a complete attempt. Quizzes will
be graded on accuracy and a point given per concept item. There will be two
types of tests; team tests and individual tests. The team test will be given prior to
the individual test and both will be done at the end of a unit. Team tests are
worth 30 points and individual tests are worth 100 points each. The points from
all areas will be totaled and a grade will be assigned on the percentage of
possible points. Expect tests to be cumulative. A semester test will be given and
will count the same as a unit test in the 2
nd
and 4
th
quarters.

If an evaluation (test or quiz) is not satisfactory, the evaluation may be taken a
second time. On the second attempt the evaluation will only be scored at 85% of
the original value. If the second attempt is less than passing, then the test may
completed as a worksheet for 75% of the score that would have achieved if given
under test conditions. The test may be taken after the scheduled test date, when
all others have taken the test the first time, as a worksheet for 75% of the score
that you would have achieved if given under test conditions.

The two quarter grades will be averaged to give the semester grade.

These letter grades will be assigned to the following numerical percentages:

A 100-93

B- 80-82

D+ 68-69

A- 90-92

C+ 78-79

D 63-67

B+ 88-89

C 73-77

D- 60-62

B 83-87

C- 70-72

F 59 and below
