"How do I calculate my grade?"

For the 2023-2024 school year grading categories will be weighted in my classes in accordance with Warwick grading policies.

 My categories for CP Biology and Honors Biology:

  • Learning Activities: Classwork, worksheets, select group activities, select labs, things within a unit.
  • Concluding Activities: Tests, select labs, things at the end of a unit.
  • Homework: Assignments that must be completed outside of class for practice.  They will be checked for completion but will be tracked in the gradebook.
My categories for AP Biology
  • Exams and Presentations
  • Lab Reports and Lab Asignments
  • Classwork/Homework
  • Chapter Outlines
