Grading Breakdown
Plagiarism/Cheating
Tests and Quizzes: Quizzes will occur on Mondays (some exceptions) and will
cover topics that have been taught in the unit up until that point. Tests occur at
the end of each unit. See the course schedule for exact dates. An announcement
will be given at least two days before any test. Please study the Embedded
Assessments in your Springboard textbook regularly. No questions will be
answered during any assessment. 20 points/quizzes, 50 points/tests.
Classwork and Homework: Classwork consists of any activities done during the
period with the Springboard materials. Homework is completed on a separate
piece of paper and collected randomly in packets. Homework is to be completed
in pencil, though solutions may be written in pen. All work must be shown in
order to receive full credit. No work, no credit.
Tutorial Passes
In order to receive extra help or makeup
up quizzes/tests during tutorial, you must
sign up for tutorial directly with Ms.
Voinea. Expect to stay the entirety of the
tutorial period and be working on Algebra
II assignments. You will be asked to leave
if you are socializing & not working on
math assignments.
Daily Participation
Read directions up front and be prepared
with all required materials when the bell
rings, otherwise you will be marked tardy.
You must stay in your assigned seat the
entire period, although you will usually be
given a 5-10 minute break in the middle of
the period.
I will be doing regular checks for
understanding during class time with
whiteboards, therefore bring your
whiteboard markers and erasers with you
every single class. We will also do
unannounced Exit Tickets/Pop quizzes
regularly to check understanding.
