How is the notebook self-evaluated?
For each 6 weeks period, a block for self-evaluation can be found on the back of the Course Outline sheet, which will be opposite the T of C when the notebook is opened to those pages. Each line of the self-evaluation is clear and requires a check mark or a number value. Most often, the notebook is worth 300 points (10 points for each of 30 entries). Each homework assignment NOT completed is minus 3 points; each essay not completed is minus 15 points. After subtracting any points for incomplete homework or essays from the points earned that is indicated by adding the value of the individual day’s entries, the student will then figure the percentage of the 300 points the notebook has earned. Those figures will be recorded with the grade the student thinks he or she has earned in the self-evaluation block for that 6 weeks.
