Grading
and Assessment:
Your grade is made up of 3 parts
• In Class Assignments: 80%
• Projects: 20%
To calculate
your grade, first average your class assignment percentages, then
your computer program percentages, and then your projects. Then
do the following arithmetic:
.8 x class assignments
+ .2 x projects
Note: Due to the cumulative
nature of this course, any student earning a 1st quarter grade
of a “C”, a 2nd quarter grade of an “E”,
and an “E” on the final exam will receive an “E”
for their final semester grade.

Class Expectations
and Procedures:
You are expected to
be in your seat and working when the tardy bell rings. If you
aren't, and you do not have a note, then you will be charged with
an unexcused tardy. Three unexcused tardies equal one unexcused
absence, five unexcused absences equal loss of credit for the
course.
- Materials: You are expected to
have the following items with you in class everyday
–
• Binder/Notebook
• Graphing calculator
• A pencil
• Handbook
- Unless it is a real emergency, you will not be allowed to
leave the room during class. Make sure you use the bathroom
and get your materials before the tardy bell rings.
- If you are absent it is your responsibility to get
