This document outlines criteria for evaluating student performance in several areas: attendance and punctuality, participation in class discussions, distracting behaviors, completion of assignments, respectfulness in class, general attitude and participation, and citizenship. Points are awarded on a scale of 0 to 4 for each category, with 4 being the highest score. Scores are totaled to calculate an overall performance rating. Citizenship is also evaluated separately on a scale of poor, fair or excellent across several sub-categories including attitude, behavior, respect for classmates, attendance, and preparedness.
