Attendance - Daily attendance is expected. Students who are absent will surely miss important material and it may be more difficult to be successful in the course. All missed notes, assignments, quizzes or tests are the sole responsibility of the student and need to be made up the following day the student returns. Tardiness will not be tolerated.
Notes - Handouts/Notes will be taken every single day, so it is important to be responsible and organized. All notes/handouts are to be completed. Anything that I write down is to be written down by the student as well, unless told otherwise.
Homework -Homework must be completed on time and independently. All students are responsible for their OWN work. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. All parties involved will receive a 0 on the given assignment. LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Participation - Participation is based on the student’s contribution to the classroom environment. A student is expected to come to class prepared with the proper materials, actively participate in classroom instruction, student effort on assignments, and being ready to begin by the bell and end by the bell. Several things that negatively impact the student’s participation grade are, cell phones/electronic devices, distracting/disruptive behavior, talking, excessive use of bathroom and or errand running during class, getting up out of seat, disengaging from daily routine.
Electronics - All forms of electronics are absolutely NOT permitted. I do not want to see them ON your desk, UNDERNEATH your desk, or anywhere except for off and away in your locker or backpack.
