English 10 - Grades
Grades are based off of total points earned on all assignments in class.
This includes – tests, quizzes, projects, essays, homework, group assignments, partner projects, exit tickets, PowerPoints, etc.
Grades will be updated weekly (I usually update them bi-weekly)
All assignments that are collected for grading will be graded and returned in a timely fashion. I suggest becoming familiar with our online grading system so you can double check the grades that I put in for you during this semester.
