GRADING
Averages for students of French are determined on a total-points system. The traditional French grading system is based on 20 points. However, assignments in French courses at AJHS will receive grades that reflect points-earned out of points-possible. At any point in the term, students can complete the following equation to get an idea of their current average.

Points earned / Points possible = ___ (multiply by 100 for percentage score)
