Classes will consist of, but not be limited to, lectures, labs,
demonstrations, and research. Filmstrips and movies will be shown when
appropriate.
You are responsible for everything covered in class, even if you are
absent!!! You are to bring your textbook, pen or pencil, and paper to class
everyday. Failure to do so may result in detentions.
Homework is due at the beginning
of each class period. NO! late work will be accepted! There is a homework board
in the back of the room with the week’s assignments on it. Please
write the assignments down, so if you are absent you will have your work
completed when you return. You can also access my website to find out your daily
homework.
All assignments that are due or were due while you are absent are due the
day you return to class. Make-up work will be counted when your absence is
excused. (Not Labs)
- You are expected to have your homework completed on your return. (You
are responsible to fill out your agenda on Monday. Failing to fill out your
agenda is not an excuse for not completing your homework before your next
class.)
- Tests/quizzes are made up before or after school
within 2 days of your return to school.
- Make-up tests will be different. You will not be allowed to due test
corrections.
- Special arrangements must be made for long term absences.
- Labs: there
are no exemptions from lab procedures!!! Lab make-ups are NOT possible. Students
that miss labs will receive a zero for participation.
Coping another student’s homework or assignments is
cheating. Students caught cheating will receive a zero for that work. The second
offense may result in loss of credit for the class.
You are expected to attend each day and be on time (in your seat). Make
sure you follow the school’s student handbook.
You are expected to know and use reasonable judgement
in knowing what is appropriate behavior. Best behavior is expected for a
substitute. Any name left by the sub as a problem, the student will spend one
hour in detention.
Behavior correcting, verbal warnings, detention, call home, removal from
class, students are not to return to class until the problem has been resolved.
You should expect some reading and homework every night. All assignments
are to be written out completely. Notebooks and folders will be checked every
semester for organization, thoroughness, and neatness.
I cannot stress how important it is for you to put a good effort into
every assignment. In particular, you must read each lesson before attempting the
homework problems.
Every student will be given a grade sheet to record all tests, quizzes,
labs, and homework on. The total number of points possible and the number you
received will also be included. You will be able to calculate your grade at any
time.
You should expect weekly quizzes (1-5 per week) from the day’s
homework, diagrams, lab activities,
and vocabulary.
Tests and Quizzes will count for roughly 50% of the grade and other
activities and notebook will cover the other 50%.
All grades are on a point system. The points will then be converted to a
percentage:
A-
94-90
D+ 69-67
B+
89-87
D 66-64
B-
83-80
F 59-0
C+
79-77
C
76-74
IMPORTANT:
If you miss class the day before a test/quiz, you will still be expected
to take the test/quiz with the rest of the class.
GOOD
LUCK, I LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING YOU IN CLASS THIS YEAR.
