Extra Credit System Starting Monday. You Should Read This.

After School Regents Review will be handled in this manner moving forward.  A few slight changes have been made for clarification purposes.  Please read carefully to see which of the categories you fall into - the week starts with work due on Monday & ends with work due on Friday.  Everyone is "reset" come the following Monday.  If you don't do what you are supposed to for next week, you can still qualify for something different the week after, depending on what YOU do. 

These policies are for my review & the "official" Department Reviews held multiple times each week after school.  Those dates, times, & locations were previously posted on the blog as well as in your classroom.  As a reminder, those students with discipline issues, behavioral issues, or significant cutting/late to class all year cannot attend my review but are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to attend as many of the Department reviews held each week as possible.

Extra credit points given per hour of review attended will be added directly to your 4th MP average, up to a grade of 100. If you exceed that grade based on your average & points,    I will consider an adjustment to your course grade...which might lead to a passing course grade if you can earn at least an 85 on the Regents Exam.  This is EXTRA, so I am not required to do it.  The policies below will be used as of work due Monday, 5/14. 

Option A:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions given, & was submitted on time.  You earned a passing grade on all quizzes & exams given that week (including HWQs.)  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn double points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 2 points on your 4th MP average.

Example: my review is 3.5 hours.  If you attend, are on time for review, & you qualify for Option A you will earn 7 points for that one review.  I have 5 reviews.  Do the math...look at Thinkwave...think about what you needed for the 4th MP to pass the course...

Option B:
All of your work was done, fully complete, according to the directions, you passed all your HWQs, but you failed one or more quiz or exam this week.  You were not late to class or illegally absent.

If this describes you (for any week moving forward), and you are signed up for review, you will earn single points on your 4th MP average.  That means for every hour of review you attend* you will earn 1 point on your 4th MP average.

Option C:
All of your work was not done or was incomplete.  You were late to class &/or illegally missed class.  You are not eligible for extra credit points this week.

This also applies to anyone who signed up for my last review but failed to show up, left a review before it ended, or cancelled after the deadline, causing another student to miss out on that spot.


*Verification slips are required as proof of attendance for Department Reviews (not necessary for mine.)  These must be filled out by the teacher holding the review at the end f the review session.  You must get it form me the day or the review (or Friday if a Saturday review) and turn in at the start of your class the next day.  Failure to do either of these will result in no extra points being granted/earned.
