20% Homework- given at least twice a week - sometimes more.
25% Project and performance points - signed grade reports are included here with projects. RAP points are also included here.
RAP POINTS EXPLANATION AND TRACKING SHEET
Respect for me and the students (2 pts)
Attendance (1 pt)
Productivity (2 pts - one for coming prepared - one for being on task - doing the warmup)
RAP points are given on a daily basis (see the sample tracking sheet below). Each student grades him/herself each day. I will check for accuracy and reserve the right to chage scoring. This is meant to help students understand where their grades are coming from - behavior counts in this class.
