Class Grading

  1. 40 - 50 % of your grade may come from answering the questions above.  pay attention to the Extra Credit questions.
  1. Each section is worth the number of points toward the credit stated In the column labeled "Potential Pts. Toward Credit."
     
  2. You must get 80% to pass a section, just like all Bijou points attainment.
     
  3. Each test  will be graded individually  toward the credit points.  Each is worth 2 points, with noted exceptions.
  1. As weather and sky conditions permit, you may have the opportunity go outside to stargaze.  Events that afford this opportunity may be found locally, see the CSAS Site, check their Calendar.  You may be quizzed on certain practical viewing skills, and your attendance and attention will be assessed. 10%-20% of your grade.
     
  2. You may produce a web page on a limited subject.  (See the Web Page Project Guide for guidelines.)
  1. You will be assigned a planet, major moon, nebulae, galaxies, cosmological topic, black holes, or some other celestial topic depending, primarily, on your interest.
  2. You will use Microsoft WORD to make a web page (See Make a Web Page with WORD for help), or Microsoft FrontPage
    If you have another web-authoring program at your disposal, you may use it, but you will have to do that work outside of school, since we have none here other than WORD and FrontPage at this time.

    If you have your own web page, that's great!  I will be happy to take a look at it, but you must produce your primary work at school.
  3. You will find at least 6 sites that have information on that particular celestial object, and produce an instructive page, including links and pictures.
  4. Your web page will be completed at a "B" level or above for credit.  It will be worth 10-20% of your grade.
  • We will work together, you and I, to determine which of the above percentages will be combined to equal 100%.  You are to have fun with this class!  You are in charge of your successLive Long and Prosper...
