Classroom Rules
I do follow the tardy/cut policy and all other classroom/school rules.
Cell Phones and Ipods will be taken if used in class.
Late work will not be accepted after one week.
There are not many out of class homework assignments that are given, most work is completed in class and discussed as a group. Work don't out of class is probably work that was not finished in the time given.
I do care about each student and each situation can be different, please talk with me if you have questions or problems about a project, task, or classroom discussion.
Grading Periods
All Psychology classes produce a Notebook, which is graded 4 times during a semester.
September 28 / October 26 / December 7 / January 25 --first semester
February 22 / March 7 / April 11 / June 3 --second semester
All work completed is graded during this time.
Project due dates will be posted as they are given in class.
Project Requirements
When presenting with a group, you must present on the day given to your group to get full credit. Any and all technology based presentation information needs to be tried on the tehnology in my classroom BEFORE the day of presentation to ensure that it will work correctly, failure to do so will result in a lower grade if there is a technical problem on the due date.
