My Social Studies class is set up to make you successful. Your grade will be based off a running total of points. Each assignment you get will have a point value. At the end of the semester you will divide the points you have earned over the points possible to get your score. For example: If we have a total of 500 points for the quarter and you earn 425 points your grade would be an 85 or a B+.
Every quarter 100 points of your overall score will be dedicated to classroom participation. That will focus on your ability to participate appropriately in class discussions, completion of classwork and projects and your overall ability to come on time and prepared for class.
Along with your participation grade you will have notebook checks quarterly that can range in points from 50 to 200 points. You will be given a rubric 2 days prior to the notebook check to make sure you have everything I will be looking for in order.
Your grade will also consist of homework assignments and school/home projects and any assignment that I choose to collect outside of a notebook check. I reserve the right to give pop quizzes at my discretion.
