GRADING
SYSTEM
I use the simple
average method for determining grades.
If the average has a fraction of .5 or above, it is rounded to the next
highest whole number.
Tests are counted
twice. Class assignments to format and
key, and application activities are treated as single grades as a simple
average described in the first paragraph. An exam will be given at the end of
each quarter that will count 20 percent of the student’s grade.
Students are
encouraged to maintain a record of their grades, and they may see their grades
in the grade book at any time.

Computer Applications and Technology Education

Word, Micro-type and Check-Proc programs. A Data Projector, Smart Board, Handouts,
Projection Screen, Videos are also used when appropriate.
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES:

NUMERACY
IN THE SUBJECT AREA:
Within each lesson plan, NUMERACY is naturally incorporated, embedded. Examples would be setting up margins for the various documents, keeping account of the number of journal entries before they are required to be inspected by the instructor for a grade, counting the number of spaces that are required between various document parts, numbering the pages of documents, knowing when over three references are used, that a separate page would be required. In the final project for the class, the students are required to use a rubric to design a NEWSLETTER. The rubric is specific to require the student to use various numbers of elements in preparing the document to obtain various levels of grades.
