1. Respect People and Things around you.
In other words...
Keep your hands to yourself and your possessions.
Stay in the classroom area (do not wander in the lab area or behind my desk)
Be polite to others.
Please do not chew gum or consume food or beverages during my class.
You may not use your electronic device in my class unless directed to by me. Headphones/AirPods are NEVER permitted.
2. Come to class on time with all materials and be ready to go when the bell rings.
In other words...
you need to be in your seat.
I do count tardies.
3. Turn in all assigned homework.
In other words...
You will turn in all homework and labs.
All homework and labs, including the chapter review, must be turned in before you are allowed to take the unit test. This also applies to assignments that are “check” grades.
You are allowed 2 late daily assignments or labs per grading period. After that, penalties for lateness will be added to the paper depending on how late the assignment is.
Late work is not accepted on your binder (due at the end of the six weeks) or during qualitative analysis (at the end of the year).
Work that is incomplete, sloppily attempted or copied from another, will not be accepted.
Failure to complete all homework will result in an incomplete for the grading period and a loss of eligibility.
4. When your are absent, make up work is your responsibility.
In other words...
Pick up your work from the “make-up work box” in the back of the room when you return. It will be in the box for a friend to pick up by the end of the day. You may also e-mail me for your assignment or get the assignment on google classroom
If you were absent one day, then you have one day to complete your make-up work. If you are absent two days, then you have two days to complete your make-up work…
Labs must be made up with in three days of your return regardless of how long you have been absent.
If you miss a quiz or test, you will take it immediately upon your return. Please make arrangements to stay after school the day you return.
If you were absent the day before a quiz or test, you may take the test or quiz the following day. Please make arrangements to stay after school.
You probably cannot make-up your test or lab during class, but if you have a study hall you may come in. Just ask me for a pass.
Extracurricular absences: You must take care of everything before you go. Turn in all work that would be due during the class you are going to miss before you are absent, take any quizzes and tests that you can. You may get an extension from me to take a test or quiz after you return, but you must talk to me to get this extension. Most often, I know in advance when you are going to be absent and I can get your work to you during class before you are gone. However, if you know you're going to be absent, tell me so I can work on getting you prepared to miss class. Remember all power point notes are online for you to access .
5. Be academically honest.
In other words...
Academic dishonesty is defined as the taking of other peoples’ work and claiming it as your own or giving of you work to others so they may claim it as their own.
A Few Examples:
Getting "help" from someone means you copy down everything that person has on their paper and try to figure it out later.
Borrowing someone's paper so you can figure out how to do the assignment.
“Working together” on a homework assignment. It is o.k. to work on group work assignments as a group in class, but homework is sent home for you to work on by yourself
Writing notes on paper, folders or other locations so that you can refer to them during a test.
Any talking during a test, before or after your test is turned in.
Looking at your cell phone during a test or quiz.
Sharing a calculator during a test or quiz.
What if I decide participate in academic dishonesty?
If you copy or allow people to copy from you on anything, I will give you a zero.
If you copy more than once, I will turn you in to the main office and they will follow school procedure for copying which includes a t least a day of OCS. I will also report you to the NHS (if you are in it or in the future applying for it) and it will be put on record.
If you are copying because you don't understand the assignment, see below.
If you feel that you cannot resist sharing your paper with others turn your paper in early and save yourself the embarrassment of getting a zero.
