Attendance Policy:
Students
will
be
held
accountable
for
anything
missed
when
out
of
class
for
any
reason.
During
field
trips,
students
should
ask
for
work
before
the
trip
and
return
with
all
work
completed
and
ready
for
class.
Tardies
As
stated
in
the
WCHS
handbook:
Four
(4)
unexcused
tardies
will
result
in
a
student
receiving
(1)
day
of
lunch
detention.
Four (4) additional unexcused tardies (Total of 8) will result in three (3) days of lunch detention.
Cutting Class/Skipping Students are expected to attend their scheduled classes daily without exception. It is the students responsibility to make arrangements with the classroom teacher before going to the nurse, office, another teachers room, etc. Failure to do so will result in the student being charged with a class cut and receiving a 0 for the days work. Disciplinary action will be determined at the discretion of the building administrators, which could result in a referral to the District Justice.
Grading
Homework
Assignments
Unless
otherwise
noted,
in
class
homework
assignments
will
be
scored
out
of
10
points.
5
points
will
be
awarded
per
completion
and
the
other
5
points
may
be
earned
by
getting
selected
problems
correct
on
the
assignment.
Quizzes
Unless
otherwise
noted,
quizzes
will
be
graded
out
of
50
points.
Unit
Exams
Unless
otherwise
noted,
unit
exams
will
be
graded
out
of
100
points.
Projects Projects given during the course of the class will be graded using a rubric. Students will be provided with the rubric at the time the project is presented, so criteria for grading will be set from the beginning. Final Grade Students will be given a cumulative final exam worth 200 points. Final grades are calculated by points awarded divided by total number of points; I do round to the nearest whole percentage when giving a final grade. Grading Scale A 90 100 B 80 89 C 70 79 D 60 69 F 59 or below (This constitutes a failing grade for the course)
Questions
If you have questions during the course, dont hesitate to ask, but if it is not of a personal nature please post questions in the Help forum on Blackboard in case another student can answer your question in a timelier manner, or if another student has the same question then the answer may be helpful to the whole class.
