This class is graded on a 'Total Points' basis. Each program that a student completes earns points. 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 an example of a grading rubric:
Points Earned | Grade Earned | 95 | A | 90 | A- | 85 | B+ |
70 | B | 65 | B- | 60 | C+ |
45 | C | 40 | C- |
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.
