5. Grades will be based on in-class projects, homework assignments, quizzes, and class participation. There will be extra credit opportunities. In-class projects will be counted as double grades. Home assignments and quizzes will be counted as single grades. Class participation is determined by your work ethic and behavior. It will count as a double grade at the end of each marking period. All grades are averaged as they are entered in my grade book. Grading Policy for Mr. Douglas’ Art Classes
