Tests and other major grades:
Although we may have to adjust as time constraints limit us, I expect
three or more tests each six weeks. These tests will be mostly multiple
choice in format. In a couple of cases, an essay will be required.
A relatively short project, such as an Excel spreadsheet, may be
included each six weeks. When that happens, it will be weighted as the
equivalent of 1/2 of a test grade.
Daily Grades and quizzes:
You will be quizzed over nearly all reading assignments. Quizzes will be
given on or after the date on which the reading is due.
Class Participation:
The ability to carry on meaningful class discussions is critical in this
class, and it's one of the things that I value most highly. Therefore it
is an important part of the evaluation process.
As a teacher, it is my function to evaluate student learning and
participation. This evaluation is undoubtedly subjective, so I endeavor
to error on the side of generosity.
