All material that is not made up within a week will receive a grade of zero. Cell Phone Policy You have two options: 1) Place your phone in one of the slots at the charging station, turn the ringer off and plug it in to charge if needed. Your phone must stay there until the end of the period. 2) You may keep your phone silenced and in your bag at your desk as long as it doesn’t become a distraction. If I have to ask you more than once to put your phone away, I’ll simply ask you to bring it to the charging station. 3) All phones must be put in the charging station during tests and quizzes. EXTRA HELP I will be available for extra help from 11 -11: 30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other plans can be made as long as prior notice is given.

EXPLANATION OF GRADES ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS The majority of this class will be taught through class discussion and application. Therefore, if you are frequently late or absent, you will have a difficult time learning the material. If you are in school, but miss class due to late arrival, early dismissal, doctor appointment, trip, sports, lessons, etc. , you are responsible to get the notes and the assignments that day, so you are up to date the day you return to class. All notes are available on my website. Tests (40%) – Tests will be given at the end of each chapter; typically two per quarter. Quizzes (30%) – There will be a quiz at the end of each section within the chapter (chapters contain between 4 – 7 sections). Labs (20%) – We will complete a lab application at the end of each chapter. You will be required to complete additional work outside the classroom for some of the labs. Current Events (10%) – You are required to complete a current event summary each week. This will consist of finding a statistical article and then summarizing it using terms and information learned in class. It must be submitted by 5 pm on Friday of each week and will NOT be accepted late as they are to be submitted online. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
