Syllabus French 1B Teacher: Madame Rambo Grading Policy: All grades in my class count the same amount, unless it is marked on the syllabus. In other words, a daily grade counts the same as a test grade. One big distinction however, is that students are allowed to drop one low daily grade if it helps the student’s overall average, test grades are never dropped. Special projects count as double test grades, such a portfolio papers. These projects are marked with an asterisk.
