How well you do on the course’s assignments and exams will determine your overall course grade. Exams are weighted more heavily than lesson assignments because, while the lesson assignments show whether you can work with the textbook’s information, the exams show whether you’ve learned it.

Important: According to IU High School Program policy, you must earn a combined average of D− on the midterm and final exams to pass the course. Even if your assignment grades are excellent, you will not pass the course unless you fulfill this requirement.
