Homework will be graded two different ways:
1) Completion Grade - At the beginning of class, Mrs. Brown will check each students assignment for completion. After students complete 5 consecutive homework assignments, they will earn 5 bonus points towards the next test. Each problem that was assigned must be finished.
2) Accuracy/Understanding Grade - At the beginning of class, students will be allowed to ask any questions they may have about the homework. Then four problems on the homework will be selected to be graded. Students will be able to correct any problems they may have had on the assignment before it is graded. Below you will find the scoring guide that is used when grading homework assignments.
