Grading Policy:
50% of your grade will be based on major assessments. This includes tests/projects. During presentations and group work, I will factor participation into the grade.
50% of your grade will be based on minor assessments. This includes quizzes, class work, homework, and other activities.
Assignments are late if they are not turned in by the deadline. Hard copy assignments are due in the basket at the beginning of the block. Online assignments should be turned in on Google Classroom by the submission deadline.
Late assignments will result in deduction from the grade 10 points for each day up to 5 days.
One day late = minus 10, 2 days late = minus 20, and so on.
There will be zero tolerance for any form of cheating on any assignment. Students caught cheating will be given a zero for that assignment with no make-up opportunity. This includes plagiarism, file sharing, AI, unauthorized resources, etc.
Loss of credit: In a 2.5 credit class, students will lose credit for the course if they are absent 4 times (unexcused) throughout the marking period. In a 5 credit class, students will lose credit for the course if they are absent 8 times (unexcused) throughout the semeseter.
