Getting the best possible grade:
1. If you receive a score lower than a 70 on a daily/hw assignment: use a separate sheet of paper and do the problems that you got wrong. You must prove to me that you know what you did wrong. Then staple this sheet to the front of your old assignment and write Corrections on it. I will then raise the grade to a 70 providing corrections are done properly and within a week of getting the assignment returned.
2. If you receive lower than a 70 on any test you are required to come in for tutorials and go over it with me for an additional 10 points added on your test. This must be done within 5 days of receiving your test back.
3. If you pass your test but missed some problems you are allowed to come in for tutorials and go over missed problems with me for an additional 10 points added on your test. This must be done within 5 days of receiving your test back.
4. If you receive a score lower than a 70 on a vocabulary test: you may bring the grade to a 70 by
writing out all of the words and correct definitions 5 times. All of the words…not just the ones which
you got wrong.
