    The course will be broken into units:

    Grading Criteria and Assessment

     

    1. Formative: Knowledge, Understanding, and Application.

    -          Journals and/or reflective writing assignments

    -          Projects for enhancement and small group activity (simulations, etc.)

    -          Participation, practicing skills, and class work             

     

    1. Summative: Evaluation, Synthesis, and Analysis

    -          End of Unit

    -          Formal writing assignments (essays, debates, and critical thinking)

    -          Major projects (presentations, formal debates, or mock trials)

    Each assignment will be given a point value. At the end of the grading period, these points will be added up and divided by the total to determine your percentage. The earned percentage will be used to determine your grade according to the following scale:

     

    Grade Scale:       A/4-5 = 100%-90%

                                    B/3 = 89%-80%

                                   C/2 = 79%-70%

                                   F/1 = 69% and below

     

    All students have the same opportunity to complete assignments and accumulate points. Late work will be accepted all the way until the end of the semester; however a penalty will be paid for all late work. Reassessment is available by teacher discretion.  Cheating is a very serious offense. Any work that is copied or similar will result in loss of credit and disciplinary action. This includes any class work or homework assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to inquire about missed work upon return from an absence.
