6 Point Scale and Grades

Grade Breakdown: Formative(in class work, homework): 30% Tests/Projects: 25% Essays: 20% Midterm/Final: 25% Working on Knowledge=30% Proof of Knowledge=70%

We use the 6 point scale in this

• class. The purpose of the scale is to

help represent mastery of knowledge in a manner better than the 100 point system. It allows for good days and bad days and lets you really reflect upon your learning.

We do nearly ALL of our work
