The Dallas ISD Grading Policy for high school classes is as follows:
| Task | Percentage of the six week grade |
| Class work & Homework | 40% |
| Tests | 25% |
| Projects/products | 20% |
| Six Weeks Test | 15% |
The grade for each semester will be a combination of the six week grades and a semester test. In Multimedia, that test will be an ACP (Assessment of Course Performance) exam. In Video Technology, that test will be a teacher-made exam. The exam grade will count for 15% of your semester grade, leaving each six week score to count for 28.3%. Both semester grades will be averaged for your final grade.
Due to the fact that this is a non-traditional class, the following categories will be fulfilled with these specific types of assignments:
You will be given two days following any absence to make up a missed grade. Late work will also be accepted.
