Student Responsibility Contract: Biomes, Soils and Oceans
Book: Science Probe 1 Student Name _________________________
Beginning date ___________ Scheduled ending date____________
Each chapter test must be passed with a score of at least 80%. If corrections are not made within one week, the test must be retaken. This contract represents the equivalent of 38 hours of work.
Each chapter’s activities and section questions should be turned in as each chapter is completed. After the instructor has had a chance to evaluate your work, you will be given the chapter exam. If your test score is greater than 70% but less than 80%, you will be given the opportunity to correct your mistakes in order to achieve an 80% score. Corrections must be made within one week of taking the test or the test will have to be retaken.
Grading: Completion of all tests at 80% proficiency will result in a “P” Pass. If the student requests a letter grade, a “P” is equivalent to a letter grade of “C.” If an A/B grade is desired, all work, including activities, must be completed within 3 weeks at the 90/80% level and no test corrections will be allowed.
