Grading Policy:

In the majority of agriculture courses, students are graded as follows:

•10% Bellwork. A mixture of written and Flipgrid reflections to get students communicating effectively!

•10% Current Events. Students will be responsible for up to 10 events per semester. Students will be chosen at random to present their findings.

•10% Participation. Students willingness to interact during discussion, contribute to a positive class community, and display respectful behaviors.

•40% Class activities/projects. The majority of the grades in any of these classes will come in the form of projects & activities.  Students are expected to show competency through completion of multi-faceted projects. Activities are completed in one class period and help to re-inforce concepts that are taught.  

•15% Midterm. Does not look like a test! But, will be in the form of some type of project that assesses various topics we have covered.

•15% Final. Does not look like a test! But, will be in the form of some type of project that assesses various topics we have covered. 

Late Work Policy:

Assignments are accepted late with a 5 point deduction. Delinquent assignments are accepted until the end of the quarter. There is no reason to have late assignments because time is given in class to complete everything, have questions answered, and create quality work.
