In Columbia County Schools, each semester is a grading period. Your semester grade will be calculated as 40% from assignments and 60% from assessments. Geometry is a benchmark course, so the assessment category will be separated with 5% for each benchmark. This is a change from last year as benchmarks were not graded last year. You will need to maintain good work habits daily so that your assignment category (in-class work, Delta Math assignments, DESMOS assignments, ALEKS assignments) is high as well as prepare for assessments (quizzes and tests). Each test will be worth twice as much as a quiz.
Reassessment policy: tests can be reassessed after you have competed all homework assignments and have reached a mastery grade of at least 80% for that unit in ALEKS. It is best to complete those assignments along the way to check your understanding as you are learning the material and this should keep you from needing to reassess. If you do need to reassess, per county policy, only students that made below a 90 can reassess and your max grade will only be replaced up to a 90. The deadline to reassess is before the next in-class test.
80% of your grade comes from your cumulative semester grade and 20% is the semester exam.
