Science Homework Policy

Grading scale is as follows: Homework is 15% of your Science Grade! Weekly Quizzes will check progress and will include information from homework assignments.  There are about 15 assignments per semester so each assignment is equal to 1 point on the final science grade.  (The scale will be adjusted if there are more or less assignments).

All homework completed = 100% “A+” Awesome Work!

1 assignment missed = 93% “A”

2 assignments missed = 87% “B+”

3 Assignments missed = 80% “B-” (A missing homework slip will be sent home to be signed and returned the next day)

4 Assignments missed = 73% “C” (After School Homework Session to get caught up)

5 Assignments missed = 67% “D+” (A missing homework slip will be sent home to be signed and returned the next day)

6 Assignments missed =60% “D”  (After School Homework Session to get caught up)

7 Assignments missed =53% “F”   (A missing homework slip will be sent home to be signed and returned the next day)

1. Homework assignments are used to reinforce concepts taught in class, and to help teach responsibility. Homework is worth 15% of your science grade.

2. Homework is worth 1/2 credit the day after it is due and after that it becomes a "0".

3. Long Term Projects (i.e. Current Events) will lose 10% for each day late. Minimum grade if handed in late (within 1 week) but fully completed = 55%, Not turned in at all = 0%.

4. Homework assignments can be found on the class website.  

5. Homework missed during an absence should be placed in the mailbox.  If the homework is to finish a lab assignment, leave in your lab folder for me to check.   Homework not turned in when absent will result in an “O”.
