        Biology Class

  

  Mr. Maniscalco is my Biology teacher this year for 9th grade. Mr. Man is a cool teacher who knows everything there is to know about science. When I first started his class, I wanted to know more about science in general,  more about biology since I have never had the class before. I also wanted to do more experiments then I have previously done before.

Grading Policy
Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Medical Terminology

Grading Procedures: Quarterly Grades:


1. All assignments are given percentage values:


a. Tests - 40 percent


b. Quizzes - 15 percent


c. Projects - 25 percent


d. Homework and Class Participation - 10 percent


e. Informal Assessments – 10 percent



2. To calculate your average for the quarter, average your total accumulated number grades and divide by the total possible points (this will always be available, and you can calculate your "running" average as you go through the quarter). Then, multiply by above percentage and add all categories together:


3. Letter Grades are as follows (all grades rounded to the nearest whole number):


A+ = 98% - 100% C+ = 78%-79%


A = 93% - 97% C = 73%-77%


A- = 90%-92% C- = 70% - 72%


B+ = 88%-89% D = 65% - 69%


B = 83%-87% F = < 64%


B- = 80%-82%

Why I like the class


I like the class because Mr. Man is a fun teacher and likes to crack jokes. Even though he is funny, he still teaches the class in a way that is easy to understand. Also in his class we will do many experiments like looking through a microscope to look at bacteria in water. His class should be fun and we should learn a lot this year.  

Tech in the class

    

    

In the class we use microscopes and computers to to learn more about biology and its cool things about it. The microscopes show us up close images of small objects or bacteria. They provide us with info to understand what things are made up of. The computers are just to look up basic info on any topic or fact we need
