Course Requirements September 2009 Students will be graded on quizzes, tests, class participation, homework, notes, current events, projects, a journal, as well as service. Notes unless otherwise stated should be kept on the computer and emailed as an attachment to Mr. Bullwinkel on demand. Homework may also be done online, though for major assignments handwritten outlines will also be required. It is recommended that students write down anything written on the chalkboard and explain it in their notes, as well as things the teacher says twice. All written work should be submitted on loose-leaf using dark ink (blue or black) unless otherwise stated. Quizzes generally cover chapter vocabulary, material from the chalkboard, and class discussion. Quizzes are usually unannounced, and handwritten flash cards may be used. Because of this students missing quizzes generally have that grade dropped and do not make them up. Tests generally cover the material from quizzes as well as essay topics, and the exam draws from the tests. Should a student fail a test they may bring their grade up to passing by making test corrections and meeting with the teacher outside of class time. However, there may not be time for this process at the end of a marking period. Grades are compiled on a point basis. Each task will be designated a maximum number of points. The student then receives a number of points indicating their mastery of the task. To determine an average divide points earned by points possible. Class participation: all students start with a "C" which moves up or down, up with constructive participation, down with no participation, lateness and disruptive behavior. Students are expected to do twenty hours of Christian Service during the course. This is part of a school graduation requirement and is graded on a pass/fail basis. For suggestions see Schoolnotes.com. Dudleys- awarded at random by the teacher for exemplary class participation may be used as a homework pass, a late pass, or a bathroom pass, or may be added onto the grade at the end of the quarter as extra credit. Ten points extra credit may be earned each marking period by outlining a current chapter prior to the test. There are different ways of outlining and you may chose one which works for you. They should use phrases, not sentences, and show how themes are related. They should be no more than two pages and submitted any time up to a week before the end of a marking period. Should you receive less than full credit you may submit a second outline if time allows. All students who appear to make an effort will pass. If you have a problem, see Mr. Bullwinkel. Students are urged to speak with him before having their parents call or email. Mr. Bullwinkel's email address is available on the Mater Dei Website and Schoolnotes.com. Allow 2 school days for a response. Information regarding this class is located in Schoolnotes.com. To access it use the school zip code 07748. Mr. Bullwinkel
Test Corrections: Tests generally cover the material from quizzes as well as essay topics, and the exam draws from the tests. Should a student fail a test they may bring their grade up to passing by making test corrections and meeting with the teacher outside of class time. However, there may not be time for this process at the end of a marking period.* Each incorrect question should be written out with the correct answer. Any essay for which one has received less than 85% should be rewritten with additional information. When corrections are complete make an appointment to meet with Mr. Bullwinkel and go over the corrections.
