Helpful Tips:
Grading Policy:
1. Tests, Essays, Projects (40%)
Tests will be given at the end of each unit. They will usually
include 40 multiple-choice questions and/or an essay question.
You will always be notified of tests at the beginning of the week.
If you are absent the day before the test, it does not excuse you
from the test. If you are absent for a test, it is your
responsibility to make it up during an extra help session within
1 week!
Projects will not be assigned every quarter, but will be a major
component of your 4th quarter average.
2. Modules & Writing Assignments (25%)
This will consist mostly of reading assignments and completing
“modules.” You must complete all reading assignments in order
to succeed in this class. Modules will be collected and returned
to you and should be kept in your notebook. Any work not
completed in class becomes the responsibility of the student. 10
points will be deducted for each day a homework assignment is
submitted late! Also, if you miss class but are in the building,
your module/assignment is still due!
3. Quizzes (25%)
Quizzes may be given at the end of each topic/module and will
consist of a variety of questions. They may be closed or open
notes.
4. Class Participation (10%)
Let me hear what you have to say!
All students are expected to familiarize themselves with and follow the Board of Education’s
Academic Integrity Policy # 5129. Failure to follow the polices may result in disciplinary action.
The 2020 AP Psychology Exam will be on Tuesday, May 12 at
12:00.
