Grading Procedure
The final grade will be derived on the basis of a numerical grade with a hundred point scale. The numerical grade will be awarded upon evaluation in three areas:
70% Participation - during aerobic, skill, and competitive activities, 100 point weekly system);
15% Skill- The average of all skills tests;
15% Final Exam
I. CLASS DRESS AND PARTICIPATION -70%
Each student's class participation will be evaluated daily through the Instructor's
professional observation of the effort exerted by each student during various class activities. Realizing that if a student participates in the activity every day, they will show significant improvement in that activity, the grading policy heavily favors active participation. Participation points make up 60% of the student's final grade and are managed on a 100 point system. Failure to participate (participation includes being dressed out appropriately to do so) results in a 20 point deduction from the 100 point weekly participation grade.. Excessive absences
( > five per semester) also result in a 20 point deduction. This deduction for absences can be removed through make-up. A student finishing the semester with 100% participation grade signifies that they have dressed appropriately for and engaged in class participation every day and have made up excessive absences, if applicable.
Students are expected to participate the entire period.
Inadequate effort may result in 20 point deduction.

RECOVERY is an opportunity for a student to demonstrate competence and mastery of objectives. Recovery is available to students who are failing with a cumulative grade below 70%. A student may also request recovery for any major assignment or test that lowers his or her cumulative average by more than 10%. In order to be eligible for recovery, a student must have completed all assigned work and demonstrate a genuine effort, including attendance. The maximum grade a student can earn for a recovery activity is 70%.
Students are responsible for contacting the teacher concerning recovery opportunities.
