English Department Grading Protocol
Assessments - The assessment category is worth 40% of a student's overall grade.
- Assessments typically include presentations, essays, tests, and final projects/performance tasks.
- The late work policy for assessments is as follows.
- If an assignment is submitted late, the student will receive a penalty of 10% per day.
- After three days, no late work will be accepted unless it is a performance task in the assessment category. Performance tasks in the assessment category will be accepted up to five days late.
- Late work for absentees will follow district guidelines.
- No extra credit is permitted in this category.
Quizzes - The Quiz category is worth 35% of a student's overall grade.
- This category includes formative assessments and quizzes on plot knowledge, reading comprehension, and vocabulary.
- Please see district policy in regard to absences.
Classwork/Homework - The Classwork/Homework category is worth 25% of a student's overall grade.
- In my class, the Classwork category will include both homework, classwork, and class participation.
- In HAC, a homework assignment will be preceded by HW, a classwork assignment will be preceded by CW, and class participation will be preceded by CP. In my class, the difference between classwork and class participation is that classwork is a graded assignment (typically independent) that is completed entirely in class. Class participation will include contributing to discussions, practicing speaking skills in front of the class, and similar activities.
- If you would like to see upcoming homework assignments, request parent access to Canvas.
- I typically do not accept late homework or classwork.
- No extra credit is permitted in this category.
Commonly Used Gradebook Codes - A: Absent (Calculated as a Zero)
- ANC: Absent Needs Completed (Not Calculated as a Zero)
- H: Handed In/Not Yet Graded (Not Calculated as a Zero)
- NHI: Not Handed In (Calculated as a Zero)
