Attendance:
Students are expected to arrive to class on time. Arriving late is rude and wastes time. If you arrive late to class quietly go to your seat. When I am available, see me to find out what you have missed. All unexcused lates will result in a detention.
Regular attendance is extremely important! If you miss a class, you are responsible for the work done. This includes copying notes and completing any work assigned during the missed class before the next class.
All tests/quizzes must be written on the designated day or will result in a zero. You will have the opportunity to replace one excused test each term with the mark from your midterm and your mock final.
Missed labs/assignments must be made up within a designated time. Bring a note that explains your absence, is signed and dated by a parent/guardian and has a phone number that I can reach them at.
Unexcused absences are not acceptable and will result in a zero for any marked activities undertaken during the missed classes.
It is as important to attend class as it is to be in class 100% of the time. As a result, bathroom privileges are rarely granted.
Assignments:
All assignments are to be handed in at the beginning of class on the due date. All assignments not handed in receive a score of zero.
Unexcused late assignments will be accepted with a penalty of 25% per day late. Once an assignment has been marked and returned to the class I will not accept it.
Cheating is unacceptable and will result in zero for all parties involved. Cheating includes:
Copying or allowing someone to copy on a test or quiz
Using a cheat sheet on a test or quiz
Copying or allowing someone to copy and assignment or lab either in whole or in part
Copying directly from the text or other resource
