Passes will also be handed out to complete work during advisement period. This is a time to come down and get homework done! If you are ill, please see the instructor.

Assessment:
Daily Homework, Projects, Test - Your grade will be based on the amount of points you have earned divided by the total amount of points available in the class.
Semester Exam - At the end of each semester a comprehensive exam worth 20% will be given. This exam will be used in conjunction with the two-quarter grades to determine the semester grade. The semester grade will be calculated by the following formula: {(3rd quarter % * 2)+{4th quarter %*2)+semester exam/5).

Suggestions for Successful Classroom Involvement: You will get out if this class what you put into it. The more you participate in class, the more work you will complete. If you have any questions, raise your hand and wait patiently for the instructor's help or ask your neighbor if they can help. DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT!

Attendance and Behavior: Students are expected to attend class regularly and be on time. Trips to the main office, the guidance counselor, or the bathroom should be made during the passing period, not during class. Additionally, students are expected to be familiar with the high school Student Handbook and use reasonable judgment in knowing what is appropriate behavior. Be courteous and respectful to the instructor and fellow students. It is important to attend class since your work has to be done on the computers. If you miss class, you need to find time to make up your homework. This can be during advisement, before or after school when you make arrangements with the instructor. Remember if you miss class, you need to find 80 minutes of your own time to make it up.
