Career Readiness

Every week or so I will assign you a grade in the range 0 to 10 that indicates your career readiness.

At the end of the year, if you pass the course, you will receive a certificate that indicates your overall career readiness score for the whole year.

If you are showing up every day, doing the work, and not breaking rules, you will receive a grade in the 8 to 9 point range.  If your grade is a B or above, this will not bring your grade down below a B and it will not bring your grade down a lot. If your grade is below a B, this could actually improve your grade, but it alone will not bring you up into the B range.

(Exercise for the reader: do the math that demonstrates this.)

To get the full 10 points for career readiness, you must be an exceptional citizen, helping others, doing excellent work above and beyond what is required, following all the rules at all times.

Every time you break the rules about food, phones, videos, respect, or any other classroom or school rules, you will lose points. Some of you have already lost many points. You will also lose points if you are absent and no one calls beforehand, and if you are late without excuse. (Excused tardies and bus problems will not affect your grade.)

I will post career readiness scores every Friday after the end of class.

Resubmitting Writing Assignments

These instructions apply to the College and Career Plans and many other future writing assignments.

1. Rewrite the assignment and print it out.
2. Attach the original graded assignment behind the corrected version.

Math Quiz Results

Math quiz is graded as follows.

If you got all 5 questions correct, and turned in the day we did it in class .... 12 points (extra credit)

If you got 3-4 questions correct ... 10 points (full credit)

If you got 1-2 questions correct ... 5 points (half credit)

If you got 0 questions correct or you did not turn in the quiz .... 0 points (no credit)


AM class did really well. Many people got 12 points.

12 points .... 8 students
10 points .... 7 students
5 points .... 3 students
0 points .... 8 students

Most of the people who got 0 points did not take the quiz at all or did not turn it in. If you took the quiz and you got 0 points, you should think seriously about whether you belong in this class. This class is for people who have already taken algebra and geometry and are prepared to use them every day in this class.

Resubmit for Better Grade

Written Assignments

You can upgrade written assignments at any time by turning in a new printed copy with the old version (or versions) attached behind.

The reason for this is that we want you to have every opportunity to improve your English skills.

Web and Programming Assignments

Don't bother turning in a technical assignment if you got 80% (usually 8 points) or more on it. I can revise your grade upward, but then I'll have to assess a late penalty.

The lesson is: turn in all your technical assignments on time.
