Power Standards
Every class will have power standards (basic concepts) that need to be learned and passed with a grade of 70% or higher in order to pass the class. They are responsible for all their classwork which will be their final grade in the class. But, in order to get a final grade for the class, each cadet will need to learn and pass off on all the power standards for that term. They will be given multiple opportunities, but until these power standards are passed, they will receive an "I" for incomplete for the class. If this incomplete remains at the end of the term, they will receive an "F" and fail that term. Click on each power standard to open up a study guide which will aide in studying for the assessment.
