Nine Week Grade Calculation

1st and 2nd nine weeks:
Grades for each grading period will be based on total points earned on assignments, divided by total points possible. Points will be from in-class lab assignments, projects, and tests. Late assignments will only be accepted for half credit. The nature of the course will require you to stay before or after school, or during a study hall to make up any missed work due to an excused absence. You are responsible for scheduling this time and are expected to show when a time has been arranged.You can view your grades and weekly lesson plans for class on the STI link on this page.
