The equation below represents how a student's final course grade for Biology will be determined.
((Q1 x 2) + (Q2 x 2) + (Q3 x 2) + (Q4 x 2) + Midterm Exam Grade + Final Exam Grade) / 1000
((Q1 x 2) + (Q2 x 2) + (Q3 x 2) + (Q4 x 2) + Midterm Exam Grade + Final Exam Grade) / 1000
Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 grades reflect report card grades which include class work and assessments throughout the quarter.
Midterm Exam Grade is a combination of Q1 and Q2 Assessments (see below).
Final Exam Grade is a combination of Q3 and Q4 Assessments (see below).
Midterm Exam Grade is a combination of Q1 and Q2 Assessments (see below).
Final Exam Grade is a combination of Q3 and Q4 Assessments (see below).
Q1/Interdependence of Life Assessment: Measurement, word roots, ecology, chemistry, and biochemistry.
Q2/Cells and Cell Processes: Cell parts and function, cell specialization, photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Q3/Heredity: DNA structure and function, genetics and the inheritance of traits
Q4/Evolution: Evolutionary theory and classification systems
