Grade Info

Here is an explanation of the grading system in my math class:

The academic grade is based on unit quizzes/tests (summative assessments): what students know and can do at a particular moment in time. By the end of each quarter, students will have made progress towards meeting (or exceeding) Math Washington State Standards.

Here is the breakdown: 20% weekly quizzes, 80% unit tests

In order to qualify for any quiz or test retake, students need to have completed and turned in all of the associated homework assignments for that quiz/test.
