About the class
In this course, students will gain experience in computer and technology applications while learning basic design principles applicable to all areas of Career and Technical Education (CTE). They will explore diverse career opportunities in fields such as graphic design, printing and imaging, photography, video production and editing, fashion design and more.

Most assignments will be due on Fridays to make it easy to remember. If a student misses class then it is their responsibility to make up work. Assignments are posted in Google classroom. I have tutorial times available for students to come in and work.
Per district's policy on late work: students get 1 day extra per the amount of days a student misses. Late work is accepted within a 9 weeks but following district's policy, 1 day late is 10 points off and so on.
Summative or "test grades" are allowed to be redone if a student scores below a 70. The replacing grade will be no higher than a 70. Replacing the grade must be requested by the student and must be done within that grading period.
