Holistic tier · 10% of overall grade
Meeting attendance
Every week you meet one-on-one with your teacher. That meeting is one of the most important parts of your education at CPA. This category grades how well you show up for it.
Three things are graded in every meeting
Your meeting attendance score is made up of three parts that add up to 10 points per week. Your average across all 18 sections becomes your meeting attendance grade for the semester.
[Date]
Attendance — 4 points
Did you show up? Missing your meeting without using your one allowed reschedule means 0 points for the whole week.
[Clock]
Punctuality — 2 points
Were you on time? Joining within 2 minutes earns full credit. Your teacher uses their judgment for borderline cases.
[List]
Preparation — 4 points
Were you ready to present your work? A fully prepared student has everything open and organized before the meeting starts.
Attendance scoring
| Status | Points (out of 4) |
|---|---|
| Present Attended scheduled meeting |

| Rescheduled — first time this semester One reschedule allowed per semester at no penalty |
4 / 4 |
| Rescheduled — second time or more Counts as a missed meeting; teacher may restore points after a makeup at their discretion |
0 / 4 |
| Absent with no contact Did not attend and did not notify teacher in advance |
0 / 4 |
Punctuality scoring
| Arrival time | Points (out of 2) |
|---|---|
| 0–2 minutes late On time; meeting begins without disruption |
2 / 2 |
| 2–5 minutes late Slightly late; teacher may note and remind student |
1.5 / 2 |
| 5–15 minutes late Significantly late; meaningful portion of meeting time is lost |
0.5 / 2 |
| 15+ minutes late No punctuality credit; preparation points may still be earned if meeting continues |
0 / 2 |
Preparation scoring
Being fully prepared means all of the following are true at the start of the meeting:
- All assigned work for the section is completed
- All courses are open to the assigned section in the digital textbook
- The end-of-section self-reflection is open in a separate tab for each course
- Assignments are organized and ready to walk your teacher through
- You can speak to what you learned and what you plan to present
| Level | Description | Points (out of 4) |
|---|---|---|
| Fully prepared | All of the above are true. You are ready to go the moment the meeting starts. | 4 / 4 |
| Mostly prepared | Almost everything is ready. One minor item is missing but you are clearly prepared overall. | 3 / 4 |
| Partially prepared | Some work is ready but meaningful pieces are missing. You need time during the meeting to get organized. | 2 / 4 |
| Minimally prepared | Very little is ready. The meeting is hard to run effectively because you have not brought what is needed. | 1 / 4 |
| Unprepared | Nothing is ready. No work is accessible or organized. The meeting cannot function as a learning verification. | 0 / 4 |
Key policies
[1x]
One reschedule per semester
You get one free reschedule per semester per course. After that, rescheduling is treated like a missed meeting.
[note]
End-of-section reflection
This is not graded on its own — but having it open and ready is part of your preparation score. Use it to plan what to present to your teacher.

Teacher discretion
Your teacher has professional judgment to adjust scores in borderline situations. All decisions are documented in the gradebook.
