Course Description

Course Emporium is designed for students to earn credit for courses offered at CFHS. This is not an optional course. Attendance is mandatory. These courses engage students with robust content delivered through interactive, media-rich instruction, and experienced certified teachers.

Course Emporium allows students to meet the demands of the common core and state standards while allowing them to work at their own pace on areas that need improvement.

Classroom Expectations

Course Emporium provides an opportunity for all students enrolled to work on coursework necessary for graduation. As such, students are expected to adhere to classroom rules and procedures to help create a productive learning environment:

• Phones are not permitted while students are working on Edgenuity.
• (Phones may be collected before students are permitted to log in.)
• Students are expected to arrive to class on time.
• Students are expected to be working on their coursework and not having side conversations with other students in the classroom.
• Students are expected to be on task while using a school computer. This means students should NOT be surfing the web or exploring pages unrelated to their coursework.
• Students are to listen and take notes during video lectures.

Students who do not adhere to classroom expectations will be subject to disciplinary action.

Cheating

Cheating on examinations, tests, quizzes, pre-tests, etc. is forbidden. A non-exhaustive list of prohibited student behavior is as follows:

• Using electronic devices to share or obtain the test content or answers, such as using a web browser or phone to “google” an assessment question. Students should not be looking at their phones during assessments.
• Talking of any kind without permission is prohibited during tests or quizzes
• Glances directed away from a student’s own paper/screen during tests or quizzes
• Sharing tests, etc. with another student
• Possessing an answer sheet, quiz, test, etc. not belonging to the student
• Submitting work that has been copied from another student, a published work or an Internet source. This includes using another student’s notes.

Links/tools provided to the students during an assessment by Edgenuity, such as a graphing calculator and period table, are allowed to be open during assessments.

During an assessment, students are not permitted to have other browser windows/tabs open. Students in violation of this policy may be considered to be cheating and will be subject to the consequences listed below.

Consequences of Cheating

• Student will receive a permanent zero for the assessment.
• Parents/Guardians & Administrators will be notified of the violation.
• The cheating violation will be noted on the student’s record.

Phone Policy

Phones are NOT permitted while students are working on Edgenuity. If you take out your phone while working on Edgenuity, you will be asked to place it into the cell phone pocket, located at the front of the class. If it becomes a daily occurrence, we will first contact your parents. After that we will have to get administration involved.

Working at Home

Students have the ability to log in to Edgenuity from home the same way they do in class. Go to https://learn.edgenuity.com and login using your Edgenuity username and password. While at home, students will NOT be able to take assessments (i.e. quizzes, tests, and pretests); however, students can complete other activities.

There are two available settings when working at home.

Option 1: Stop at Assessment (default)

Students can work on a lesson at home, but when they reach an assessment, further activities will be locked out until they take the assessment in class.

Option 2: Skip over Assessments (by request)

Students can work on a lesson at home and upon reaching an assessment, they will skip over the assessment and can work on the next lesson. Upon returning to class, the student will take any skipped assessments.

If students think this option will be better, they need to discuss this with their classroom teacher.

Grade Determination and Reporting

Please be aware that the way grades for this course are being reported is changing. In the past, it has been a Pass/Fail course. We now offer letter grades for the courses students complete within Course Emporium.

Please read the following statement carefully, and then email your teacher if you have any questions or need clarification! Thank you!

Students enrolled in Course Emporium may earn the letter grade relative to their final Overall Grade percentage, as reported in Edgenuity, for the course they are completing within that program.

For students to qualify for an A or B as a final grade for the course, they are permitted a maximum of 2 attempts on Unit/Topic tests, and 1 attempt on their Cumulative Final Exam.

Students who have not reached a passing grade after course completion may be permitted additional retakes (by arrangement with teacher) of Unit/Topic Tests and/or the Cumulative Final Exam until they reach a passing Overall Grade (65% or higher).

In such cases, a final letter grade of “D” will be transcripted for the course regardless of the final percentage earned.
