The list below covers the grading scale for almost all of the work that you will complete this year. Points will be assigned as follows:

HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK: 5 - 25 points
QUIZZES/INFORMAL WRITING: 25 - 75 points
TESTS/PROJECTS/FORMAL WRITING: 75 - 200 points

As far as late work is concerned, there will be a 10% deduction for major papers and projects that are 1 day late and a 20% deduction for major papers and projects that are 2 days late. General homework that is late will not receive any credit. Students with real, documented excuses can see me to work out individual, private arrangements to submit late work.
