40. Final Exam • The final exam is cumulative and is worth 20% of your semester grade. • All students will take Final Exams. Students who have no more than 4 absences (one tardy or sweep counts as one absence) in the class and a grade of 75% or higher, and who are present in class on the final exam day, may choose whether or not to have the final exam calculated into their grade.  This policy does not apply to courses which may require final exams, including but not limited to IB, AP, and Dual Enrollment classes. • A school field trip or campus event does not count as an absence. • Even if you are exempt from the final, you are still required to attend class on the day of final exams.

41. Binders • Binders will be checked and graded in the AVID class weekly. Binders and/or backpacks will be graded for organization, Cornell notes, materials & supplies, a completed daily planner, daily “to do” lists, and learning goals and scales. If you are absent for Binder Check, due to illness, you may request a Binder Check on the day you return. Additional binder checks by mentors occur throughout the year so binders must be organized at all times. A minimum of three (2) pages of Cornell notes/learning logs are required for EACH CLASS each week for a total of ten (10).

42. Classwork, Homework, and Projects • Class work and homework assignments are designed to help students to develop personally and academically and to ultimately prepare them for college and a career. Essays will be written in MLA format. • There will be numerous individual and group projects each semester.

43. Tutorials • Students will be graded on each tutorial session. Students earn points for their questions, participation, and reflection during the tutorial process. Since tutorials are a collaborative effort, students must be present and participate to receive credit. Students who are absent due to illness may make up points by completing a tutorial by visiting one of the learning centers and having a teacher present help and sign off on their tutorial paper. • Tutors will assist students on their path towards arriving at answers, but they will not provide the answers for students.

44. Portfolio • Students will collect specified documents to be placed in a portfolio. Portfolios will be assessed at least once per semester

45. Homework • Homework is due at the beginning of the class period. • Any assignments turned in late will be worth HALF credit unless you have an excused absence.

46. Warm-Ups • At the beginning of each class period, there will be a warm-up activity. • You will get a weekly handout for recording your warm-up answers. • You cannot turn in a warm-up on a separate paper. • All the warm-ups for the week must be on the same handout, turned in every Friday
