Participation will be graded on the basis of your productivity during class. Students who turn in clean and complete work ON TIME will receive up to 3 extra credit points on that particular assignment. This means all work will be shown clearly and neatly, and paper assignments will not be wrinkled or messy. However, if you are not productive during class and/or your work is messy, unclear, or, late this will resort in a loss of points for that particular assignment.
 * Attendance/ Participation: ** Due to the nature of this course, attendance is essential. It is my recommendation that students try their best not to be absent from class as we will keep a steady pass in course work. However, I do understand students might be ill or have sports and such, but it’s their responsibility to make time to gather missed assignments and notes. Students who are absent will have an applicable amount of time to make up missing work without their work being considered late. Be sure to look up or call in for assignment if you will be absent for an extended period of time. I will do my best to accommodate to all students.


 * Assignments: ** Students are responsible for turning in assignments on time. Assignment returned after the due date will reduced by 10% each day after . Any work turned in after the 5th day will receive half credit unless cleared by instructor. Assignments for the week will be posted on my website weekly.

Test 50 points Quizzes 25 points Projects 50 points (20 points for work and understanding of the project 30 points for presentation) Class work 10 points Homework 5-7 points Notes 5 points
 * Grades: **


 * A || B || C || D || F ||
 * 100%-90% || 89%-80% || 79%-70% || 69%-60% || Below 60% ||


 * Students Organization: ** I’ve found that students who are organized generally do much better in school than those who are not organized, especially as they get into higher grades. I insist on neat papers, and I am convinced that an organized binder is essential. As a class, students will input test and project due dates into their planners or calenders.
