Homework and Attendance Policies

Homework:

          Because this is a multiple intelligences classroom there will be some individual work that will be required to be completed outside of class time. Therefore, homework completion will make up 10% of the students’ final grade. Every time homework is not completed and the student does not have a valid excuse there will be a deduction of 2 points off of the final grade. This is a very important policy because if students do not have the required work completed than they will not be prepared to participate in class. This would be a detriment not only to that student but to all of the other students in the classroom.

Attendance:

        Implementing multiple intelligences learning into the classroom increases the importance of participation during class time. For this reason participation will be graded and given a value of 15% of the final mark for this class. Participation will be graded on the degree of involvement that you have during class time and on classroom attendance. A penalty of 2% will be deducted from the final grade for each class missed without a valid excuse.
