How to understand the grades:
Individual assignments for homework and classwork are not posted. Totals are posted. All homework and classwork assignments are worth 5 points each. I post the totals usually mid chapter and at the end of a chapter. (i.e. total hw, cw 6A, means total of all homework and classwork assignments for lección A in chapter 6.)
If you and/or your child need an explanation of exactly which assignments are missing, have your child make an appointment and I will be happy to review this.
All quizzes and tests are posted individually.
Explanation of "special" scores: (These are usually in my folder of assignments, not posted on the grade spreadsheet.)
nhi = not handed in, your child was present the day the assignment was due, but failed to turn it in.
ab = absent, your child has as many days as s/he was absent to make up the work
incompl= incomplete, no credit given
cht = cheating
0 or nc = zero, or no credit
susp = student was suspended
R = re-do, your child was asked to re-do the assignment due to a tremendous amount of errors. Often, I require that the student see me for a review session. Students are given full credit for re-do's but only one night to do this. Quizzes and Tests are NOT afforded this opportunity. There is NO Re-do for a quiz and/or test.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. However, please be aware that I want to help your child; not enable. Therefore, I will insist that your child make an appoinment with me to review his grade. I will provide a print-out with a written list of assignments that are missing only at the time of the appointment. Thank you for your understanding and help to create responsible students.
