A quiz/test may be administered after each lesson to determine the amount of learning that has taken place. Test scores that are below 75 percent are an indication that the necessary skills for entry into employment were not acquired. A minimum of two tests and one final will be given each quarter.
Grades will be calculated with the following formula:
Grading System:
| 90 - 100% | A | Excellent |
| 80 - 89% | B | Good |
| 70 - 79% | C | Average |
| 60 - 69% | D | Poor |

Hands on Practical “LAB” score (75% or better is a pass). 75% score is required or additional hands on testing will be imposed.
