Updates on Grades

I was at school until almost 8 pm Friday grading & entering into Thinkwave.  A little, but not much, of your sub work & HW from last week has been graded & entered.  If it was not entered, it isn't graded yet.  If there is a zero, it was graded but your work (or work with our name on it) was not turned in.  I concentrated on US History for most of the time I was there since there are far more papers to grade for them than Global.  I will switch to yours this week.

None of your Participation grades for the last 2 weeks have been entered, which also means none of your HWQ grades based on that have been entered.  I hope to have all of your outstanding grades entered by next weekend.

Chapter 31 Online Exam Info

Your Chapter 31 Exam will open Saturday, 3/30.  It will close on Thursday, 4/4, at 4 pm.  It is posted in Castle Learning.

Your Chapter 31 video packet(s) is due at the start of class on Thursday, 4/4.  It will not be accepted late.

A few reminders about your online exams:
1.  There is no make up exam.  You do it online by the time is closes or you miss the exam & will receive a grade of 0.
2.  You can do the exam at school on your free period OR after school when the library is open.  If you need a pass, please bring your agenda book.
3.  "First try only" counts, no partial credit for 2nd choices...because the Regents has & will never work that way.
4.  Any unfinished portion of the exam once it is locked will be like not finishing am exam in class - anything left unanswered will be marked wrong.
5.  Chronic & habitual cutters will receive no credit for online exams.  You must be in class regularly to receive credit.  You will NOT be allowed to earn grades while cutting, since any exam given in class you'd also likely cut (based o your current behavior.)
