Spring 2021
Second Semester Python Fundamentals
Standards Mastery Framework/Flex Timing Prototype Semester 12 Weeks
Executive Summary
All items must be accomplished in order.
Students will create a ½” White binder with cover sleeve which will contain all of their papers and code printouts, organized in order. This will be submitted for an EXAM level summative grade. Details
provided in class.
All S (small) assignments worth 20 points summative All M (medium) assignments worth 60 points summative All L (large) assignments worth 100 points summative Grades will be assigned for all assignments Individually
All assignments will be given a rating of 1-4 for mastery as follows: 1: Student only understands most basic definitions/concepts. Cannot demonstrate mastery
2: Student can show limited understanding of the definitions/concepts with assistance
3: Student has mastered the definitions/concepts and can perform assigned tasks to standard(s)
4: Student has mastered and exceeded the standard by performing and demonstrating skills beyond what has been explicitly taught and/or required
Students may not progress until they have achieved a mastery rating of at least 3, regardless of their score on a given assignment. This is because some grades will be scored for completion, and mere
submission/completion of a given assignment may not demonstrate sufficient mastery.
*Any irregularities on assessments are considered honor violations Master projects have required-by dates for all checkpoints that must be achieved. All assignments have gated deadlines in accordance with county policy. See curriculum revisions available on class portal at http://www.hawkeyedriver.com
