Grading+Policy

Grading.....

In Mr. Carson's class, you will learn the science material you will need for high school and the New York State test. In addition, I will teach you skills that you can use in any classroom, and will need to get a job and a career later in life. Some of the skills you will learn will be: Technology - use of technology is growing and EVERYBODY will need to know how to use it. Communication - the ability to present your work and ideas to others. Creativity - you will make and design your own "products". Collaboration -working with other people is essential in every part of life.

Because this class is not //just// about science, my grading policy will be broken down like this:

Science Content:      40%          - assignments related to science. Work Ethic:               30%          - How much effort you put into the class. Communication:      10%          - The way you present your work (written, spoken, visual, audio) Collaboration:          10%          - How well you work with others. Technology:              10%         - Display that you know how to use technology tools.

So please don't worry if you don't think you are great at science, there are plenty of opportunities to do well in this class.
