It is important that you and your student check the online Gradebook to monitor grades weekly. When checking your grade on Pinnacle, you may see some numbers and symbols that can be confusing. Here is a short explanation of what those symbols stand for:
X = student is exempt from this assignment; has no effect on the calculation of the grade
Blank = student was absent on the due date; must complete and turn in; has no effect on the calculation of the grade
Z = student did not complete and/or turn in assignment on due date, but CAN still turn in for reduced credit; calculates the grade as a numerical zero.
0 = student did not complete and/or turn in assignment on due date; CAN NOT turn in for any credit
Homework Policy:
You can earn 100% of the grade when collected on the due date. You lose 20% of your grade everyday thereafter.
Grading Scale:
A 92-100
B 83-91
C 74-82
D 65-71
