Grades for 3 7 8

Took me a little longer than I wanted for 7 and 8 but I got them done along with three. I still have to add in the notes but that will have a minimal impact unless you are very low. I posted the final version for 1 and 2 earlier and made corrections for those who saw me today.

One last thing. I have to check the jailcards for these periods to make sure nobody went over their limit. If you did, I will have to deduct something.

http://mrlewishistoricalsociety.com/grades378.pdf

I will look at the grades and decide how and when to round up. I will put grades in tomorrow by 8 or 9 am. I will check my e-mail tonight and in the morning

grades with everything 1,2

Grades for period 1 and 2

http://mrlewishistoricalsociety.com/gradesafterfinal12.pdf

I will look at the grades and review each one. The computer does not round up when you are .5 away or so. I will be doing that. Feel free to email me any problems or come by and see me. Grades are not due for a few days.

Link for Online Quizzes

I use this link for the online quizzes:

Hopefully it works.

Online Quizzes

The link for the online quizzes isn't working. It directs me to a totally different website. Is that happening to other people too?

Jailcards

remember all jailcards are due Tuesday whether that is the day of your final or not

They must be turned in to me in person and not during a final

Do not use blog for individual grade issues

That is not what the blog is for

tests

Grades with Corrections and JC

http://mrlewishistoricalsociety.com/gradeswithjccor.pdf


Still plenty of time to do corrections for issues. I did have some assignments without names or titles so that will have to be dealt with.

Grades without jailcards or corrections

These grades do not have jailcards or corrections in them. I will post all grades with absentee work, corrections, jailcards and anything else by this evening. There were a few people who failed to put their name on stuff. We will deal with that this week.

If you want to figure out your grade with your new materials added in then add the points to your point total and divide by the max for you and there you go.

Re: make sure to panic if there are any issues because I only have six days to make a correction and there is no way I could possibly correct a grade with only 144 hours to do it. It takes me at least 10 years to make a correction.

If you have to make up any of the new assignments, jailcards are due on Tuesday (no exceptions)


All grades are on here, your period should be listed on there in pencil. Just skim through the pages.

chapter notes

if you already typed them, you can turn those in and just write future ones. I made this rule because you can find summaries online. If I were to find that you had just copied your info straight from an online source you will get a zero on this assignment. I want the information pertaining to the areas I listed below and I want you to do a good job which means you must do it and think about what you are putting in and make sure to get the info which could potentially be useful for the AP exam or my exams.

Help?
