Class Expectations
1.) Be on time to class. Each lateness without a pass= 0 on a 10% assignment. If there’s not a 10% assignment due on the day you’re late, I will change a previous 10% assignment to a 0.
2.) Come prepared to work every day in class. I understand that you are seniors and have important college responsibilities coming up. If you absolutely need to go to your guidance counselor during this class, please ask me first.
3.) Hand in work on time. Late work = 0. No excuses; it is non negotiable. If you have an unforeseeable circumstance, please call or text me at 635-4477 and leave an explanatory message. If I do not receive a message and you do not have your work, it is a 0. This class is not only about enhancing your intellectual capabilities but it is about honing your skills in ownership and responsibility as well. Remember, you’re seniors.
4.) a. Unexcused absence (cutting class) = 0 chance to make up assignment plus you’re on my radar for the rest of the semester.
b. Excused absence with note = see me on the day you return. We will decide on an appropriate due date. If you do not see me, you may not make up the missed work and any missed assignment will = 0.
5.) No food, cell phones, headphones, or hats allowed during class. Even though this class is “just an elective,” I will still confiscate your cell phone and give it to the appropriate administrator. He/ she will determine the necessary consequence. Also, I will take your hat for the day; any repeated offense will be turned over to the appropriate administrator. These rules begin today. Drinks are acceptable.
