- 3 Multiple Choice Tests - 50%

            Extra credit is offered when a test score is below 80%

            but only to get the grade to 80%

Driver Education Extra Credit.

If you do not achieve an 80% on a major Test and want to improve your grade to an 80% you may do Extra Credit.  Extra credit for the major test will consist of making a Driver Safety Poster.

The poster could be modeled after the ones on the Driver Education class room wall in room 12.

However original thought is accepted and encouraged.  Some of the best posters will be hung on the wall.

If you feel you need extra credit for the quizzes A short paragraph on a concept will earn you an extra credit quiz point.

The following are some concepts:

-organ donation

-Automobile insurance

-motor vehicle inspection

-designated drivers

Keeping track of your grades on SkyNet:

When you look at on-line grades it is important to remember that this is a work in progress.

Assignments that you missed for some reason (absence, just didn't do it, late with work etc.) are entered as a 0 until you make it up.

Make sure you make up any work you owe!

Mr. Brown offers "Extra Credit" in certain circumstances.  It is important for the student to keep track of what needs to be done (if anything) in this area.

It is important that you share this info with your parents!!
