Grades and Reporting:
Grades will be based on tests, assignments, class participation and exams. Tests will occur on every second Friday and will be cumulative. Mental math will be done during the first five minutes of a majority of the classes. Your mental math mark will consist of an average of the best 4 out of 5 days. Missing a class when mental math is done means you get a zero for that day.
The final grade will be based on:
Mental Math - 10%
Homework/assignments - 25%
Tests - 35%
Final exam - 25% - There are no exemptions.
