1(A) - Chemistry Honors - Wood - 2019

Grading Policy

Missing/Late Work: Students missing assignments on the day they are due may turn them in late for a maximum of 90% of the original grade (or 60% once I have gone over it or posted a key). 

Test Recovery: Test recovery is available to all regardless of grade earned. To qualify, students must have no zeroes and the study guide completed for that unit on the day of the test recovery opportunity. If requirements are met, students must attend one of the next three open STAR lunch days to work on the recovery assignment. Students will only have one STAR lunch period (either A or B) to work on and complete the recovery assignment. Recovery assignments are graded for accuracy, and students may earn up to 50% of the points lost back on their test based on the score earned on the recovery assignment, but students must earn a passing grade of 60% on the recovery assignment to earn any credit back.          

Plagiarism: Plagiarism is presenting another person’s work as one’s own. Plagiarism includes any paraphrasing or summarizing of the works of another person without acknowledgment, including the submitting of another student’s work as one’s own. Plagiarism frequently involves a failure to acknowledge in the text, notes, or footnotes the quotation of the paragraphs, sentences, or even a few phrases written or spoken by someone else. The submission of research or completed papers or projects by someone else is plagiarism, as is the unacknowledged use of research sources gathered by someone else when that use is specifically forbidden by the faculty member. The student is responsible for understanding the legitimate use of sources, the appropriate ways of acknowledging academic, scholarly or creative indebtedness, and the consequences of violating this responsibility. Students who are found cheating will need to work on and submit an alternate assignment to receive any credit.
