YBIS Student Handbook Homework Homework and assignments are used to reinforce concepts and skills and to help build desirable work and study habits. Homework will be assigned according to the age and needs of students. The amount of time that students spend doing homework will vary somewhat from day to day, and with the ability and diligence of the individual learner. Assessment Pattern Student's grades will be evaluated through a series of curricular and extra-curricular evaluations along with academics. This aims to reduce the workload on students and to improve the overall skill and ability of the student by means of evaluation of other activities. Grades are awarded to students based on work experience skills, dexterity, innovation, steadiness, teamwork, public speaking, behavior, etc. to evaluate and present an overall measure of the student's ability. The aim is to reduce the workload on students and to improve the overall skill and ability of the student by means of evaluation of other activities. Grades are awarded to students based on work experience skills, dexterity, innovation, steadiness, teamwork, public speaking, behavior, etc. to evaluate and present an overall measure of the student's ability. Primary Students will be assessed thrice a year and the reports will be published during the months of August, January and April. For secondary students, formative tests will comprise the student's work at class and home, the student's performance in oral tests and quizzes and the quality of the projects or assignments submitted by the child. Formative tests will be conducted four times in an academic session, and they will carry a 40% weightage for the aggregate. The summative assessment is a three-hour long written test conducted twice a year. The first summative or Summative Assessment 1 (SA-1) will be conducted after the first two formatives are completed. The second (SA-2) will be conducted after the next two formatives. Each summative will carry a 30% weightage and both together will carry a 60% weightage for the aggregate. Page 11 of 14
YBIS Student Handbook At the end of the year, the CBSE processes the result by adding the formative score to the summative score, i.e. 40% + 60% = 100%. Depending upon the percentage obtained, the board will deduce the CGPA and thereby deduce the grade obtained. Exam Schedules Exam schedules of grade 1- 8 students can be viewed on the Annual Academic Planner and for students of grade 9-12 on Exam Schedule Grade 9-12. Assessment Honesty Policy Students are to ensure that the works presented by them is entirely theirs and not others, the latter case will be taken as plagiarism.
