You will take notesfrom power points, lectures and study You will be provided a copy of each study. You may highlight and take notes on these studies. It is your responsibility to bring this these studies to class everyday and to keep your notebook organized. An electronic copy of each study can be located on my website. If you lose or damage your copy of the study it is your responsibly to print another.

  12. HOMEWORK Homework consist of reading, notes, and completing assigned work in your notebook or online (TBA).

  13. CLASSROOM POLICIES • BE PROMPT • BE PREPARED • BE RESPECTFUL • MCPS/NMHS rules apply

  14. CLASSROOM POLICY cont. Lockers, getting a drink and going to the restroom will be completed before the tardy bell. NO restroom use during the first/last 10 minutes of class. Restrooms are for emergencies only and will not become a daily routine (if you have a medical issue please see me privately after class ASAP). DO NOT ask me to use the restroom, this disrupts the class and is very bothersome. Simply get up, walk around the back of the room, sign out and go to the restroom. If I feel the bathroom is becoming a problem all bathroom privileges (except medical) will end and no one will be allowed to use the bathroom during class time.

  15. ATTENDANCE This class will move rather quickly. It is your responsibility to attend school regularly. If you are absent: check with a classmate, check the website and check the assignment box. If you still have questions see me at the end of class. All make-up work is your responsibility; I will not seek you out for missed assignments. If you miss a quiz, test, or exam be prepared to take the assignment upon your first day back. If you missed the review of an announced quiz, test, or exam you will still be expected to take the assignment at the assigned day and time. All assignments missed due to and unexcused absences will be entered as a zero in the gradebook. Preparing for a school-sponsored event such as Drive for Life, Relay for Life, etc., will not be excused for any reason.

  16. Academic dishonesty and cheating: Consequences for academic dishonest are as follows: • automatic zero • parent notification/conference • removal from National Honors Society • possibly the removal from the NMHS AICE program. • Students are not permitted to work together unless instructed to do so by me.
