Grading information

I am glad you are taking work based learning! This class is a great way to obtain a career and technical credit while working and earning money! However, there are several obligations you will have as a student of this course, and it is up to you to take your responsibilities seriously to earn your credit.

Our class will meet each Tuesday during the third block slot. Additionally, you will have all day Wednesday to work at your job. You are required to work no fewer than 15 hours per week in order to gain class credit. To verify this, you will need to bring in a completed time sheet every week. These timesheets will verify your hours worked plus help you understand how to calculate your paychecks. These are for a grade and are kept on file until the end of the semester.

Additionally, each week, you will be graded based on your answer to the weekly question. Each question is worth 2 points (out of 100 total) for your final grade. Your question must be answered each week to remain current in the class. As in any class at Classic City High School, your progress will be monitored to make sure you are no more than two weeks behind at any given time.

Please answer the question each Tuesday while in class for the work based learning program. Each response should be a well-developed paragraph, of about 150 to 200 words.

Please form your answers in a logical format, using a topic sentence, supporting sentences and by checking your spelling and grammar carefully.

Please be sure to keep up with your time sheets and weekly questions to remain in the course. I'm sure you will have no trouble at all!

Mrs. S.
