Student Involvement:  Throughout the semester students will be involved in many types of experiences: working  cooperatively in small groups and individually to complete hands-on activities, group projects and presentations, individual assessments and group assessments, as well as self evaluations and peer evaluations, expressing feelings and opinions through a variety of media, to name a few.  I will need your input as well!

Overall Course Assessment:  will include projects, assignments, labs, presentations, quizzes, tests, participation, written and response journals.

 *****ATTENDANCE is an essential part of this course.  Since a sizable portion of the course involves lab work and cooperative learning…attendance and participation are critical to your success.  But if you cannot attend, be sure to go onto the Google Classroom and you can complete the daily work.

 If you are absent from class for whatever reason you are still responsible for the work that was covered in that class.  You need to check with a classmate or check the teacher's webpage and Google Classroom to see what was missed.  It is your responsibility to get caught up.
