Grades for Theatre Arts courses
The total grade for our full-length productions is composed of the average of 40 grades in various aspects of participation in that play. All students received a two or three page written evaluation and 40 grades. The total production grade is composed of the acting and tech job grade.
The grades on the monologue is calculated by averaging the grades other students assigned to that monologue (50%) and the grade I assigned that student's critique of other student's monologues.(50%). In other words, the student received grades in their monologue and how they critiqued other student's monologues.

The overall grades are weighted as follows:
Participation - 35% (attendance, classroom contribution, memorization, daily preparation)
Assignments - 35% (homework, tech job, projects)
Assessments - 30%( tests, quizzes, critiques, and papers.)
Some individual grades are a combination of more than one catagory. For instance, the formal evalauation of stage performances is a bit of all three.
