Grading/Testing
Grading Procedures
Testing will be done at the end of each unit lesson.
Make
Up Work for Absences
1.
Student is responsible for asking teachers about assignments missed and
making arrangements for the makeup work. This
must be done the first day the student returns.
Students will have one day for each day of absence to make up
assignments. For a longer absence,
the student will make special arrangements with the teacher.
2.
If makeup work is not turned in by designated time, the student is
subject to a grade penalty or a
zero.
3.
Work that is assigned when a student is present must be turned in on the
first day a student returns from being absent.
The student must turn in all work that was assigned before the student
was absent. All tests assigned
before the absence must be taken on the first day back.
4.
Make-up assignments or tests shall be made available to students after
any absence.
5.
Students on field trips or school trips must have their assignments ready
when they return to class.
Cheating
The
definition of student academic dishonesty varies; however, it traditionally
includes one or all of the following:
1.
Copying another student’s homework or test answers with or without that
student’s permission.
2.
Using “cheat notes” during test.
3.
Having access to teacher’s answer sheets or book.
4.
Obtaining test questions from students who have already taken tests.
5.
Copying themes and other written papers from other students or reference
materials (plagiarism).
6.
Over-use of parental assistance with homework or projects.
When
it is proven that a student has cheated, the grade on any test or work will be a
zero.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism
is the use of another person's original ideas or writing as one's own without
giving credit to the true author. Plagiarism
will be considered cheating, and the student shall be subject to disciplinary
action that may include loss of credit for the work in question.
