Grades

The grade that a student receives in this course will be a reflection of how the student has performed in two areas: the acquisition and assimilation of performance skills in the areas of reading, writing, listening and oral language production. These performance skills are referenced in the approved German 2 curriculum and its appendix. The course grade will be calculated from scores obtained on unit quizzes and tests, projects and activities, daily assignments, and the final exam.

The final exam (EOC) will count as ten percent of the student’s grade and will help determine whether or not the student has met the state standards in humanities for this particular course. The EOC consists of writing and speaking component as well as a multiple-choice exam that evaluates listening, reading, cultural and grammatical proficiencies.
