    2. Your lab grade will be determined by your group work, lab procedures, and lab assessment given after the experiment is completed.
     
    3. If you are absent on the day an experiment is performed, you will make up the lab before or after school and do a lab write up as the assessment.
     
    -Late labs will not be accepted. A late lab will result in a zero for the assessment.
    -Labs must be TYPED. Any or all of a lab report that is not typed will not be accepted.

    Grading - The district grading scale will be used.

    1. You will receive grades on a point system for homework, test, quizzes, labs, etc. For the overall grade, all points will be totaled and a percentage will be determined.

    2. Homework is due at the beginning of the period. Handing in homework during the middle or end of the period is unacceptable. No credit will be given for late homework.

    3. All work must be shown on tests, quizzes and homework to receive full credit.

    4. There is NO extra credit.

    5. A class work grade may be given in each marking period based on what you have done in class throughout the quarter.

    6. Grades can be seen on infinite campus. An ‘M’ indicates an assignment is missing and the current value of the missing assignment is a zero. If the assignment is turned in within the required time frame, a grade will replace the ‘M’, if not, the ‘M’ will keep its zero value for the remainder of the quarter.
