METHOD OF EVALUATING STUDENT’S WORK: A. Tests & Quizzes 70% B. Other 30% Other may include but is not limited to the following: Class Participation Homework Hump Day Problems Quizzes Projects Tests
C. Test Retake Policy – Any student who wishes to retake any paper/pencil test will be allowed to do so. To retake a test, a student must work the test retake problems from the topic with a school employee. The school employee the student works with must sign off on the test retake sheet to verify that the student did the problems. If a peer tutor is used, the student will have the supervising teacher sign the retake sheet. When the student is finished, we will set up a time to retake the test. The retake test must be completed within a week of getting the test back.
