If a unit test covers 3 OEs, it has a weight of 3. These marks go on a “placemat,” and a line of best fit is determined for your mark.

14. Informal Assessments (10%) Online Mastery Quizzes (very easy to access through course website!) “Participation” Observations Collaborating with others to achieve group goals and responsibility. Ability to solve problems independently. Conversations Class and small group discussions about course content. Use of biological vocabulary and concept explanation.
