Classroom “Rules” • RESPECT yourself. • RESPECT each other. • Take RESPONSIBILITY for your actions.

Classroom Expectations • Due Dates: will be given for each assignment. The due date = latest date to turn in for full credit. 5 points will be taken off the first day it is late. No credit will be given 2 class periods or more after the due date (unless there are special circumstances).
Classroom Expectations • Group Work • This will happen occasionally. You will be given instructions of what to do at the appropriate time. EVERYONE will participate in these activities. • YOU WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER OR YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH BY ME or your division principal if the situation calls for it.
Classroom Expectations • Printing: • You will only print the assignments I tell you to. Otherwise assignments will be turned in by email. • DO NOT get them off the printers. I will do this at the end of class. • At the end of class: • Log-off. DO NOT SHUTDOWN (7th hour will shutdown). • Put your books away with the covers to the outside. • Stay in your assigned seat until the bell rings. • When you leave, push your chair in.
Assignments • Total point value is undetermined at this point, but each assignment is usually worth 10. • These will be turned in by printing or email. • I will have grade sheets for each lesson. These will detail what is expected and the points you received. These will be handed back to you during class time. • Blogs are worth 5 points per day. If you are absent, you have until midnight that night to make it up. This includes all absences. If you are in class, do it here. • Tests point values are undetermined at this point, but usually are 125. Tests are given after each unit (with exception of Power Point).
Grades • Grades are determined by a percentage of total point value. • Although tests are worth more points, they do not have any more % weight to them. • Grading Scale: • A=100-90% • B=89-80% • C=79-70% • D=69-60% • F=59% or below • Extra Credit? Given by doing work in the keyboarding programs, but is not given unless all regular class work is done (with a few exceptions).
