__**Grading Procedure: **__ Students will be assessed on tests, quizzes, oral presentations, writing assignments, homework, and class participation. Grades will be based on a total points system. Students may keep track of their own grades using the chart given to them for each marking period.

__**Assignments **__  //Late work:// All assignments are expected to be completed before the class period in which they are due. Late work will be accepted for MOST assignments; however students will be assigned Mandatory Academic Study (MAS) and will be deducted a letter grade.

//Makeup work: //  You are expected to complete any work you missed due to absence from class. Be sure to check with me for assignments and make-up tests. Makeup work is your responsibility and must be completed in a timely manner or it will become a zero.

// Work integrity: //  Students are expected to do their own work (unless directed otherwise.) Any cheating, which includes turning in another’s work as your own or providing your work for others to use, will not be tolerated. The penalty will be a “0” for the assignment, detention, and possible parental notification. Plagiarism for large assignments will be referred to the office for discipline.
