“Rules”

§  Be safe -  use materials correctly

§  Be Responsible – be on time, have assignments completed on time

       Plan ahead.  Most activities and projects will be long term.  Use your class time

       wisely, and stick to a schedule. Completion of assignments outside of class is

       expected.

§  Be Respectful of yourself and others

§  Always put forth your best effort, you’re worth it!

§  Cheating will result in a ZERO: copying another student’s work or doing another student’s work for them.

Grading:

Your grade will be cumulative throughout the semester based on points.  Your progress will be assessed on the following categories: quizzes, projects, daily work, journaling and participation.  I suggest you keep a point total page so that you know what your grade is at all times. The following grading scale will be used:

A: 100-90%         B:89-80%         C:  79-70%         D: 69-60%
