GRADES
Grades are awarded based on a point system. Points are accumulated each day, and then translated into grades. Point awarded for completion of assignments, mastery of concepts, progression of skills, cooperation, and the ability to work with others

The following student profiles will help to clarify how grades are assigned.

“A” students demonstrate exemplary skill and understanding of the concepts covered in class. All assignments and projects are completed on time to a level that meets or exceeds the stated criteria. They maintain an organized notebook and complete all homework assignments. Their work habits are professional and demonstrate a wise use of class time. They show a genuine interest in the subjects covered and on occasion try to push the boundaries of what they can learn past what is presented in class. They earn a 90 or above on class exams. They try harder and achieve more.

“B” students demonstrate proficient skill and understanding of the concepts and skills covered in class. Assignments and projects are completed on time to a level that meets the stated criteria. They maintain an organized notebook and complete all homework assignments. They have good work habits and demonstrate a wise use of class time. They score high on class tests and exams. They make sure that they understand and can perform all the stated requirements of class projects and assignments.

“C” students are just getting by and demonstrate only moderate skill and understanding of the concepts and skills covered in class. Though most assignments and projects are completed, they only just meet the level of the stated criteria. And though the work shows the necessary use and understanding of the hardware and software available to complete the project, the student often needs help with the operations. They may not always demonstrate a wise use of class time. Their test scores are often just high enough to pass. Their effort level is inadequate for high achievement.

Students who do not complete most assignments and projects to the level of stated criteria or who require more than an occasional prompting to demonstrate the necessary workplace habits required to produce satisfactory work on time or do not understand the concepts covered will fail to meet the standards of the class.
