In my technology class students will be graded in two ways.
First, students will be graded on class participation. Class participation is 25% of the students' final quarterly grade. Students are expected to actively participate during each class. Students are also expected to be working on the computer application(s)specified in class. Students working on other applications will loose participation points for that class period.
Second, students will be graded on the projects completed.Projects are 75% of the students' final quarterly grade. Each unit will have a project to demonstrate ability. Students will receive information stating all of the criteria for each project at the beginning of the unit.
The technology grade will be an O, S+, S, S-, or U. Grades are recorded on quarterly grade cards.
