Reminder about grading rubrics

The grades in math class are weighted. Algebra 1A, Algebra 1B, and Geometry all have the same weighting system:
Tests and Projects: 50%
Daily Work: 40%
Concept Checks: 10%


MTH 111 has its own weighting system:
Classwork (homework and other assignments) = 25 %
Tests = 55 %
Final = 10 %

Please keep these weighting in mind when you look at your grades.  For all classes, tests and projects are worth more than homework, on an assignment by assignment basis. 

As always, you can see assignments for all classes at http://ameena.wikispaces.com/. Specific information is listed by class.
