Unit Tests and Major Projects 60% Daily Work and Homework 40%
Extra credit assignments are not offered in 7th grade science. However, students who make below 70% will have the opportunity to re-take the test within five days of the test results. Daily work below 70% may be corrected within two days of daily work results. For tests, students should come to a tutorial session to ensure understanding prior to a re-take.
*The maximum grade a student can receive on any re-take is 70%
Homework
Science deals with a lot of concepts that are built upon one another. Therefore, it is imperative that students stay on top of their homework and studies. There will not be specific days designated as homework days, but it will be an extension of what we have done within the classroom.
Make Up Work
If you miss a class, YOU are responsible for the work that you missed. When you return to school, check the "While You Were Out" folders for the work that you missed. If you must miss class for an illness or emergency, please see me so that we can work out a plan of action for you to make up the missed work. The time allotted to complete make-up work is one day for each day the student is absent. Any work not turned in within the allotted time will be considered late.
Late Work
Students may turn an assignment in one day late with a deduction of 15%. If the assignment is not turned in within a day later the due date, the assignment will no longer be accepted for credit. Students may have an extension if they work out a plan of action with me.
