REQUIRED CLASS SUPPLIES FOR MR. CARTIER
2019-2020
- Nothing
- Seriously, that's it. You will not need an English binder or paper. I'm sure you will have pens, pencils, highlighters, etc. for other classes (LIFE HACK: they work in English too!) We will use Chromebooks almost exclusively, and I will provide you with other materials when you need them. Just be sure to memorize your school login credentials as soon as possible.
- Oh! Wait. You do need one thing: a good attitude. If you can't bring that, please run off now and join the Foreign Legion--because I will not tolerate miserable people.
I must tell you that I will not use this site much this year.
All students will get a Google Classroom account at the start of the year, and that will be used for communication.
Class Information:
Mr. Cartier's grading scale
I use letter grades instead of numbers, since I do not need 35 versions of passing and 64 versions of failing. However, for ranking purposes, I need to convert my letters to numerical equivalencies. For your convenience, here is a list of my scores and their numerical eqivalents.
A+=100
A=99
B+=93
B=85
C+=80
C=75
Not There Yet (NTY)=60: Student is attempting the work, but is not adequately proficient
F=60
Incomplete (INC)=0: Student is not finished with an assessment or assignment, possibly due to absence; grade will change when work is done
Not Handed In (NHI)=0: Student has not handed in an assignment
