A. Grade completion - In the shops, the final grade is a composition of the following: 25% quiz grades; 50% shop participation/work habits; 25% projects.
B. Classroom work - All written work and drawings are graded. Homework to supplement class work will be assigned, graded, and returned.
C. Quizzes - given weekly on the day assigned to the department as "test day." In the shops quizzes are given at the end of each unit of instruction and/or major demonstrations. Safety quizzes are given in all shops before any student is allowed to use tools and/or power equipment.
D. Tests - given on the day assigned to the department as "test day."
E. Grading - The scaling of grades is not the practice of the department. Final Grade Composition - 25% Quiz grades; 50% shop participation/work habits; 25% individual projects. Shop classes: quizzes are given at the end of each unit of instruction and/or major demonstration; safety quizzes are given before any student is allowed to use tools and/or power equipment. Drafting Classes: classroom work - all paperwork is graded (e.g. drawings in drafting). Homework in drafting will be checked, graded, and returned. Quizzes are given almost weekly.
F. Make-up Work - because 50% of a student's grade consists of classroom work and work habits, students can make up work after school hours, upon agreement with the teacher.
