Additional Syllabus Info
Grading
The Hastings Area School System Social Studies department has agreed to a graduated weighted scale for grades 6-12.
The weighted scale for 7th grade is:
Homework 50%
Assessments (tests, quizzes, & projects) 40%
Organization (agendas, notebook/folder, textbook, writing materials and work ethic) 10%
Make up / Redo work and Extra help
Opportunities exist for all students to make up most grades with which they are not satisfied. Extra help is also available before and after school. We will cover work correction procedures in class. You just need to ASK
Late work
Late work will be accepted for no less than 50% of a completed assignment in the unit/chapter of study. I will follow the school policy for absent work. Late work will not be accepted after the completion of the unit.
It is the student’s responsibility to ask about, obtain, and complete the work.
Special notes
All students are capable of doing well in this class. The responsibility for success lies with the student. In addition to grades being available on-line, weekly grade updates will be provided, at minimum, on Fridays
