Expectations and Policies

This class is an academic class and it is expected that you will do your part to contribute to an academic environment in the classroom in order to provide yourself and your peers with the greatest possible chance to be successful in the class and earn credit at the end of the semester. One of the best ways to do this is to refrain from being distracted by your cell phone, chromebook, or other personal devices during class time. While we are engaged in any non-independent learning (whole-class, group, partner, etc.), the expectation is that your phone is put away. You should only be on your chromebook if it is a required resource for the current activity.

While working independently, you may use your phone to listen to music with earbuds or headphones. Otherwise, please ensure that your phone is put away. (If you're unsure about what qualifies as independent work time, ask Mr. Demianiw :-)

Attendance will be taken daily. Attending class is crucial to your success in this class. Most assignments will be posted in the Google Classroom, but discussions and many other in-class activities cannot be replicated if you miss class. Also, if you are physically present but choose to be disengaged &/or distracted by your phone or chromebook you will miss out on discussions and many other in-class activities cannot be replicated. Being both physically and mentally present is important for success in this class :)

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you need to make up after an absence! After checking Google Classroom and the "What Did I Miss?" board in the back of the room, if you have additional questions please check with a classmate or email Mr.Demianiw for help.
