Grade This course grade is your current grade. 75% of your grade will be ALEKS mastery. This
will be determined by the last ALEKS Final you take.
25% of your grade will be the district final exam grade.
The ALEKS exam should be completed no later than July 24th. The District final should be completed no later than July 29th. Email Mr. Etz at least two days before a proctoring
session in order to sign up for an exam.
Completing Topics in ALEKS
Complete topics in one of two ways: Correctly answer a question on the initial
assessment. Working on topics from the ALEKS pie and
then passing them on the assessments.
Tests The ALEKS program will generate the tests:
• after so many hours of work • after you have completed a certain number of topics.
If you answer the problem correctly it will remain in your pie.
If you answer incorrectly, you will need to practice more problems and then it will come up on future tests.
Tests(cont..)
The test will contain questions that you may not have seen before. For those questions you can either click “I have not learned this” or try to answer the problem. If you get it correct you will not need to practice the topic in the pie.
Requirements You need to work at least two hours per day.
If taking two semesters, you need to work at least 4 hours per day.
