I grade on a point system. Grade points vary according to what is it (quiz, lab, ideas, or test). My chapter tests are always worth 100 points and exams 200 points. Everything else varies from 10 points on up (with the exception of getting things signed which is one point. At any time a student's grade can be calculated by taking the total number of points he/she has accumulated and dividing it by the total number of points possible (Do NOT add the percent grades together and divide by the number of grades).
Labs are group projects (usually 2 students in each group). Labs come from the book: Student Activities in Life Science for Christian Schools (example: see pages 5-8) or from handouts. They are due at the end of that class period or for longer labs the due date assigned. Some labs take more than a day. The penalty for turning in a lab late is one letter grade off each day late. Each student will be assigned to a lab group and the lab groups will change for different labs. This way a student gets to work with a variety of people and learn teamwork. If the lab is turned in as a group each student in the lab group receives the same grade on the lab, but the student has the option of turning in his/her own lab instead of as a group. I do provide my chapter notes through the internet. You need to go to: http://www.pjteaches.com. I don't give these out so a student can get the notes and not pay attention in class. If that happens the student will not be allowed to use the notes during class, but will be required to write them out long hand. All students must take notes in class or have the printed notes out referring to them. I will be having help class on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 7:45 AM. I teach the students a study method (during the first help class) I call "drill cards" which has been a successful study tool for most of the students I've taught over the years. They will need 3x5 cards and their notes. My quizzes are usually fill in the blank, listing questions and multiple choice. I will give the definition and the student will have to write the term. My tests are made up of matching, multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank and listing questions. Quizzes and tests come from the notes I give in class. There will be NO extra credit other than extra credit questions on quizzes or tests. Science: Some keys for finding success in my class: be here, listen, ask questions, do homework, and study some each day rather than trying to cram the day before a quiz or a test. A key class rule is RESPECT. Show respect to each and every person. Remember you can be a source of love or wounding to each person you come in contact with. Let's be God's gift of love to the world. If you have any questions feel free to email me (peggy.stanley@eagleslanding.org), or call the school (770-957-2927 Ext. 653) to set up an appointment to meet with me before or after school. May be used on one homework assignment per chapter. Quiz Passes Only one quiz pass may be used per chapter. |
