Grading Policy
I will follow the school's grading scale:
100-90 A
92-80 B
82-70 C
72-60 D
59-0 F
For sociology grading will be cumulative throughout the entire class. The 9 weeks grade will count as 80% and the Final exam will count for 20% of the overall final grade. AP World students please see the syllabus for grading guidelines as the course is a full year.
It is the student's responsibility to see the teacher about any missing or late work. Communication is key and the student should always try to let Mr. Pitts know when they are going to be absent especially for an extended period of time.
Late unexcused assignments will be deducted one letter grade every day the assignment is not turned in. After 4 days the student will receive an F for the assignment but still has the opportunity to gain some points toward their cumulative grade. Students who are excused from school will be given the same amount of time missed to make up the work. Anything turned in after that time will be treated in the same way as unexcused missed assignments.
It is the students responsibility to make up all missing assignments, tests/quizzes, and homework!!!
