Grading Categories:

Assessments (50%):

Summary evaluation of student achievement and progress toward mastery.

Concept Knowledge (20%):

Any assigned that is related to content knowledge

Skills (30%)

This will include, but it not limited to, source evaluation, communication, primary or secondary source analysis

**I will not round grades at the end of the trimester and no grade bumps will be given.**

**Students may take assessments and turn in some assignments on Canvas, but it is not a holistic representation of the overall grade in the course. The only accurate place to check your most up to date grade will be Skyward/Family Access. There is a possibility that a student’s grade will not match in Canvas and Skyward and, as a result, please refer to Skyward for the most accurate and up to date grade. Skyward is the official grade of record.**

Grading: Late Work Policy:

It is expected that you turn in all assignments by the due date.

Assignments turned in late but during the unit it is from can earn up to 100% credit (no penalty for late submission).

Assignments turned in during the unit AFTER the unit the assignment is from can earn up to 60% credit. Assignments from the original unit will not be accepted after this point.

NOTE: Any misuse of technology in class (e.g. being on social media, playing games on laptop, etc) will result in you not having the ability to turn in the assignment(s) from the day late. This means that if the assignment is not turned in on time, you will earn a 0.

If you need an extension to complete an assignment, you need to ask before the assignment deadline. It is up to teacher discretion whether an extension will be granted.

If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to check Canvas including any announcements, PowerPoints, assignments, activities, etc. that you missed. After you have reviewed all the materials on Canvas, it is your responsibility to check in with me with any questions or concerns you might have. All work is posted on Canvas and you are responsible for keeping track of what is due when.

If you need to make up an assessment (Quiz, test, presentation, etc.), email me to arrange a time to complete the missing assessment. It is your responsibility to reach out and set this up.
