Evaluation
You will be given a daily assessment by way of the teacher web postings and findings on your Team Notes page. In addition, you will have periodic tests and/or quizzes which will come from the groups findings during discussions in class. At the end of the Unit you will receive a final Test on all the material presented in addition to the assessment on your power point presentations. These assessments will be by self, peer and teacher based on rubrics which you and I agreed upon at the beginning of the year.
