Grading rubrics will be given for each project before the project is due

Unit TestsUnit tests encompass objective questions including matching, fill in the blank, multiple choice, and short answer. Tests will be scheduled after the completion of chapter notes and work. We will review the day before a test. Any student scoring below a 70% will be given the opportunity to correct their tests, in order to earn half credit up to 70%.
