5-Point Grading Scale Explained

This document outlines a 5 point grading scale for assessing student work, with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor. It provides descriptors for each level and translates the scale to a traditional A-F letter grade system. Key aspects include: - Formative assessments like quizzes and labs count for 40% of the grade, while summative assessments like tests and papers count for 40%. - Preparation elements like homework and classwork make up 10% of the grade, and citizenship counts for the remaining 10%. - Grades are weighted more toward performance and understanding than just production or work submitted. Getting full credit on homework is important for earning higher overall grades.

OBSERVATIONS

Very few A students Very few D F students Mostly B and C Students Those who get 5s on summative tests do their homework. Lazy students who know material can still be successful but wont earn As or Fs Its almost never too late to move up or down Grading homework is fast Must have descriptive rubrics
