Notebook Check Self-Evaluation and Grade

Grade your notebook according to the following rubric. If your grade does not match mine, please feel free to ask about the reason for any difference.

organization / on time / completion (x3)
0 points means this: / No notebook is turned in. / No notebook is turned in or it is turned in more than a week late / No notebook is turned in.
1 point means this: / There are none of these:

• syllabus is in the front
• quizzes/tests are in their own section
• assignments are in order

/ The notebook was turned in 3-5 days late. / About 25% or less of assignments have been completed.

/ The notebook was turned in on time. / About 95% or more of assignments seems to be completed.
total points for this category (with example at the bottom): / example: A notebook with quizzes/tests missing would receive a 3. / example: A notebook turned in on time would receive a 4. / count this three times (for example, 3 = a total of 9 here)
example: A notebook with about 80% of the work completed would receive a 9 because 3 x 3 = 9.

Document your estimate for the total grade on the front. The example is given first.

How grades translate:

19-20 = A 17-18 = B15-16 = C 13-14 = D1-12 = INC
