Mr

Mr. Hess's Grading System : Hands-on Class Environment

The Students will receive 76 points a day for Class Participation
They must do their daily assignments, Labs, Research, and/or lectures
(This Includes Substitute Assigned Work)
Their final Class Participation is an average of all the days attended
This doesn't include a student cutting my class
Their Class Participation grade will be lowered for the following reasons:
Skipping Classes, Inappropriate Internet Uses, Poor Behavior , Not doing work ,
Inappropriate Games, Uses of Distraction Devices

Projects and Homework will total up to 14% of their Grade
As long as they are doing their work they will be able to earn the 14%. I allow one extra day per projects for Make up. I have a bunch of quick day projects for ones who get done early or on time. These students also have the opportunity to help out their fellow classmates. "Leave no one behind" -US Army Rangers Motto

During Lectures at the computes or my Round Table I may evaluate by a quiz's. The students may sometime show others how to do the quiz with teacher permission

WHAT IF THE STUDENT IS NOT GOOD AT TAKING A WRITTEN TEST ?
The End of the Semester Test is only 4%, so even if they do not pass the test, they can still receive an A FOR THE SEMESTER

VHS Final Grade Policy

1ST	2ND	3RD	4TH	SUBTOTAL	Final Project	Final Test
100	100	100	100	89	6	5	100
96	96	96	96	85	6	5	96
8/9=.89or 89%				1/9=.11 or 11%			90 to100 =4.0
1st add your scores up for the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th Marking Period 2nd then times it by two 3rd divide by nine a 100= 89 or a 96=85

Since this is a hands on class learning Environment it's only fair to test the students with a project that contains all of their skills, with the traditional written Final .

Also again to the above question. The points were set so that the students can do all of their hands on projects and pay attention to lectures and receive a 91 which is an A or 4.0 to their GPA
