Philosophy
  • I believe that the evaluation of student work should be specific positive feedback, which aids in the student's continued success throughout the academic semester. 
  • I expect the individual student to push themselves academically to his/her capability. 
  • Consequently, the reason for grading is to give the appropriate feedback to the student of a particular graded assignment.
Guidelines
  • I will relate grading procedures to learning goals.
  • I will use quality assessments and accurately record students' evidence of achievement.
  • I will continually involve students in assessment, including grading, throughout the teaching/learning process.

​​Late Work
  • Late PAPERS will be allowed with a 5-POINT deduction every day late.
  • After the FIFTH (5TH) DAY, late, the paper will be a ZERO, and the REWRITE OPTION is NOT GIVEN.
  • Late MULTIMEDIA PROJECTS will have the same regulations as PAPERS, unless of extraordinary circumstances (school-related activities are not extraordinary circumstances).
  • All projects and papers must be turned in at the conclusion of the semester; if not turned-in, the grade will be a ZERO.
  • The late policy is not applicable to papers and projects at the end of the semester.

Plagiarism
  • Refer to School District's policy.

Make-up
  • Make-up work will be allowed only with extraordinary circumstances (school-related activities are not extraordinary circumstances).

Music in Class
  • Music is allowed in class, only if the lyrics are appropriate for a school environment (i.e., no explicit lyrics).
  • Music is a privilege and not a right; therefore, students must be working progressively, if listening to music.
  • TIER ONE:  There will be a THREE STRIKE OUT RULE in effect for students' ability to listen to music in class; if a student is asked three (3) times to get to work, he/she will lose the music privileges for the remaining period.
  • TIER TWO: Repeat offenders: If a student breaks the THREE STRIKE OUT RULE three (3) times in an academic quarter, his/her music privileges are revoked for the quarter.
  • TIER THREE:  If a student loses their music privileges for two (2) quarters (any two (2) quarters), he/she will lose all music privileges under Mr. Mantei's instruction for no less than one (1) academic year.

Homework

  • Readings are the only homework that will be assigned
  • Texts are to aid the student in success for Papers, Quizzes, Exams, and Projects.
  • Readings may be formally assessed.

Extra/Co-Curricular Students

  • Papers, Quizzes, Exams, and Projects will be turned in or taken before to the event.

Extra Credit

  • Students will be given opportunities to earn extra credit points throughout the semester.

Daily Points

Daily points consist of 10 points per 50 minute class period.
  • 1 point = 10 minutes of continual work
  • 2 points = being prepared to work for the entire class period.
  • 3 points = on time for class ('on time' refers to sitting and getting to work)
