Keep the desk clear of unneeded books, papers, purses, etc. at all times. Place the items on the floor near your feet.
This room has expensive equipment, NO POP, CANDY, FOOLD, OR BUM IS ALLOWED IN THIS ROOM.
All work must be handed in on time. Therefore, absences tend to make you get behind and you can only make this up on activity days. Also, work will not be accepted any longer than one week after it is due if you have an excused absence.
You will be using a textbook or booklet that you have to retrieve each day from the back bookcase. It will not leave the classroom. You will need to return this textbook or booklet to the bookcase at the end of the hour. NO EXCEPTIONS—POINS DEDUCTED if I pick it up. Flash disks (thumb drive) will be provided, but again they are only for your use in this class—not yours personally and will remain in this room.
Take care you your station—desk, computer, mouse, etc. Anyone seen abusing this equipment will be referred to the dean.
Diskcopying is not allowed. This is cheating. You will receive a “zero” on your work (whether you copied or allowed your work to be copied) and your parents will be called. The second time caught you will receive an “F” for the six weeks.
Wastepaper should only be thrown away at the end of the hour.
You will need to keep a notebook for this class. You will be given handouts and class assignments as well as graded projects that need to be keep in this notebook.
REMAIN IN YOUR SEATS AFTER RETURNING YOUR TEXTS AND FLASH DISKS UNTIL THE BELL RINGS AT THE END OF THE HOUR. Also, push your chairs in at the end of the hour.
Warnings will be given for the following:
A. Tardies
B. Talking without permission and disrupting the class
C. Using the internet for your own personal email or being in myspace or similar sites—absolutely forbidden.
ALL OTHER MISBEHAVIOR (FIGHTING, INSUBORDINATION, DISRESPECT, DEFACING PROPERTY, ETC.) WILL RESULT IN BEING SENT TO THE DEANS’S OFFICE.
GRADING SCALE:
Your grades will be on a point system and projects will be evaluated by a rubric. Tests will be based on total points.
90-100 = A 80-89 = B 70-79 = C 60-69 = D
Extra Credit: 1 box of Kleenix per six weeks will earn you 10 points.
