When you see the homework symbol () preceded by the percent sign (), this means that this written assignment is accompanied by a grading guide. Instructors can handle this type of activity in a number of ways. First, of course, it could be performed either in class or at home. Teachers can simply make this activity an ungraded assignment as a means of providing practice. They can attribute a grade to the students that simply reflects the fact that the activity was completed or not. Finally, they can treat it as a quiz, giving its grade less weight than that of a test (). If used as a graded assignment, refer to the instructions below for a suggested grading guide:
