COURSE GRADING

The following is a description of each type of assignment that will be included in the calculation of each student’s nine weeks grade:

Study Guides: Students will be required to turn in a study guide of completed terms for each chapter covered in the course. Study guides must be hand written and turned in on assigned due dates.
