Classroom Rules

1. Be on time and in your seat when the bell rings. If you are late for class without an excuse three times, it could result in a detention.

2. Be prepared for class. Bring your assignment book, folder, notebook, textbook, pencil, and homework to every class unless told otherwise. Failure to bring a completed assignment book to class for a third time in the grading period could result in a detention.

3. Respect yourself, others, and school property.

4. Classroom misconduct or disturbances will usually result in a warning. Repeated problems could result in a detention.

Evaluation

Your evaluation in this course will be based on the following:

1. Exams and quizzes.

2. Projects and reports.

3. Homework. If you miss three homework assignments for a grading period, it could result in a detention.

4. Final Exam. This will count as 7% of your final grade.

I use the school wide grading scale as found in your student handbook.

Discipline

If necessary, discipline will be administered as describe above. Consequences may also include a written assignment. Refer to the student handbook for discipline guidelines.

Cheating

Any cheating will result on a score of zero for that activity.
