Grading Procedures
Standards
The State of Georgia’s QCC standards for Euclidean Geometry cover the content for this course. The
complete standards list can be found at http://w3t.org/u/7yq7
Home Studies
I cannot emphasize how important home studies are. Please make every effort to complete them on
time. The school policy on late work is as follows:
• 3 days or more late: Attend an after school remediation class to complete the work.
Label all submitted work with your name, the assignment including section numbers, and the date.
Please use lined paper for all work you turn in to me.

Portfolio
You will create a geometry portfolio throughout the semester and turn it in during finals week in May.
Portfolio items are listed on the calendar, below and include: 1) Astrolabe (p. 254), 2) Geometric kites
(p. 306 & Wikipedia: Kite_(geometry)), 3) Scale model floor plans, and 4) Indirectly measure the
heights of 5 Roswell landmarks (p. 460). The portfolio will count as an assessment; all assessments will
combine to ½ of your overall grade.
Category A B C F
Complete All assigned 80-90% of artifacts 70-80% of artifacts Fewer than 70% of
artifacts are solved are complete are complete artifacts are
completely complete
Correct All artifacts apply 80-90% of artifacts 70-80% of artifacts Fewer than 70% of
geometry correctly apply correctly apply correctly artifacts apply
correctly
Conferences
Parent and / or student conferences will be held by appointment to assure I can give my full attention.
You may schedule by calling the office and leaving a message or sending email to me.
