This class is graded on a 'Total Points' basis. Everything a student completes earns points (completed work and quizzes). At the end of a marking period, a student's grade is based on the points earned. A detailed, tentative rubric that associates points earned with a grade will be posted at least two weeks before the end of the marking period.
Here is a sample grading rubric:
| Points Earned | Grade Earned | 135 | A | 127 | A- | 119 | B+ |
| 95 | B |
| 87 | B- |
| 79 | C+ |
| 55 | C |
| 47 | C- |
Here are approximate percentages for the weighting of the 3 categories of student work:
| Programs | 85-90% |
| Quizzes | 10-15% |
Unfortunately, any letter grade or percentage that Genesis lists will be wrong. If you have a question about how your child is doing in the class, please e-mail the teacher at: jstevens [at] metuchenhigh.org.
