Student performance is evaluated by participation and quality of classwork submitted.  Level of participation is assessed by both teacher and student.  No participation credit will be given if student is absent.  Classwork will include lab activities, worksheets, readings and projects.  Classwork is due at the beginning of the following day’s class.  Late work will not be accepted.

There is a well documented correlation between positive attendance and student performance.  It is the responsibility of the student to be present for this class.  If a student is absent, the student will only receive credit for the work missed if the student completes and submits an article review on a current horticulture issue.  The chosen article requires approval from the teacher.
