Academic Honesty

Although this class will use a lot of group work opportunities. Any time a student is asked to hand in an independent piece of paper it is important that it reflects their own work. Should any assignment or part of an assignment be found to be copied all students involved will follow the academic honesty policy in the school handbook regardless of the size/impact of the assignment in question.

Overall grades are established based on performance in the following areas:

Classwork (20%) Assignments in this category will not be available for retake.

Examples: Conclusion completion, exit tickets, lab completion, group participation, some written conclusions.

Assessments (80%)

Most written conclusions, tests (subject to retake policy), unit projects (group or individual).

Students will be informed and can ask again any time if they are unsure of what assignments are classwork and which ones are assessments. The assessments will be very clearly communicated as they make up the majority of a student’s grades.

Grading Scale may be changed if directed by admin.

All of my students will have the opportunity practice persistence, thinking and problem solving skills. Please feel free to communicate with me when you feel you need additional support.
