Assignments:
  • Take pride in your work, it is a reflection of you.
  • Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling are a must. Points will be deducted from your paper(s) for infractions of these items.
  • Homework assignments will be on the board each day, as well as dates for upcoming assignments and tests. Students are responsible for checking the board each day for your assignments.
  • Late assignments will be accepted one day late for 1/2 credit.
  • All assignments must have your name, period, and date in the upper right hand corner of your assignment.


Attendance:
  • The attendance policies are followed as listed in the Student-Parent Handbook.
  • Assignments missed due to an excused absence will be the responsibility of the student and are due after the student's return.
  • Tests and projects are due the day the student returns to class and the student is expected to plan accordingly.


Conduct:
  • Students are expected to respect me, your classmates, yourselves, the classroom and the materials that you will use.
  • Students will be expected to be in their assigned seats, with their notes out and prepared for class when the tardy bell rings.
  • Students should not talk without permission. If they have a question or want to make a statement they should raise their hand and wait for me to call on them.
  • During group work all students should be on task at all times.
  • Laboratory Safety and Student Handbook regulations must be followed at all times.
  • Copying someone's work either on a test, quiz, homework assignment, or research paper is dishonest. Allowing others to copy your work is also dishonest. Cheating will result in an automatic zero for both students. Plagiarism will result in a zero. Work must be cited.


Grading:
  • A total points system is used to calculate your grade.
  • Each student will keep a gradesheet on which all assignments, tests, quizzes, labs, etc. will be recorded.
  • Students will be graded quarterly and by the semester.
  • Semester grades will be computed by adding the total number of points for the semester.


Additional Notes:
  • Do not hesitate to see me if you need help.
  • Dismissal from class will be by the instructor NOT THE BELL.
