EXPLANATION

Your participation grade is approximately 15-25% of your grade. It will be 125-150 points each quarter. There are 2 main components.

1. PARTICIPATION CALENDAR: Each month, you will keep track of your participation checks and tally them up for a total that will be converted into your grade based on the following scale.

2. NOTEBOOK CHECKS: Each quarter, you'll have 1-3 notebook checks, each being 20-40 points. For these checks, you'll have to produce several of the worksheets we're using for class at that time.
