EXAMPLE OF PERFORMANCE METHOD
Students are assigned theory study and a minimum number of practical experiences. Theory is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion ONLY when rated as satisfactory. If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study.
Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures, performance standards established by the state licensing agency, and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the Yuri Academy.
Students must maintain a theory grade average of 75% and pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
GRADING PROCEDURES
Passing grades at Yuri Academy are 75% in academics, state board and laboratory work.
We give a written test every Friday which is graded as soon as possible and given back to the student. All laboratory work is recorded as the customer is completed, and is entered on the monthly grade sheet. All state board work is recorded as soon as it is completed and is entered on the weekly state board grade sheet.
Grade reports are furnished to each student at the end of each quarter.
