Ms. Seydewitz’s
Humanities Grade Breakdown
Your child’s grade will be based on the
following:
Outside

In class
Assignments / Participation 10%
Quizzes 15%
Tests 20%
Writing
Assignments / Assessments 20%
----------------------
100%
Extra credit is available during
the year on certain assignments, but is given at the teacher’s discretion. Each child will receive 3 extra credit
points for each hall pass not used in during a specific trimester. (10 points can be earned if all 3 passes are
turned in, on time, at the end of the trimester.) Extra credit may also be given at random, for example, attending
certain school sponsored events, having all required supplies on a given day,
or going over and above the requirements for a particular assignment.
Extra credit is not, however, a way to make up for
poor academic choices made throughout a trimester.
It is simply a “boost” for a borderline grade. Simply stated, extra credit will not drastically improve a
long-suffering grade, but can bump up, for instance, a “B+” to an “A-“.
