Grading Policy
• Daily Grades 50% (Warm-Ups, Notes, Assignments, Quizzes, Participation)
• Assessment 50% (Tests)

Daily Warm-Ups
Warm-Ups will be given every day at the beginning of class. You will begin the assignment as
soon as you arrive to the classroom and complete it within 7 minutes after the tardy bell rings. All
Warm-ups can be done on the computer or on a piece of paper.

Assignments
Assignments will be given on appropriate days. Throughout the year the student should be
reviewing each section of a chapter the day before it is lectured upon. The proper section for a
particular day can be found on the syllabus.

Late Work Policy

Late work will be accepted at the discretion of the instructor. Penalties apply as follows: A paper
which is late by 1 day will be penalized by 15%, 2 days by 30%, 3 days by 50%. No papers are
accepted the last week of the grading period.

Make-Up Procedures
Assignments can only be made-up if the student has missed a class/lecture. Look at your
calendar for assignments that are in the book. Please see the teacher upon your return for any
other assignments. The number of days you are absent will determine the number of days you
have to turn it in if due. For example, if you are absent 2 days, you will be given 2 days to turn in
any assignments given during those days. Assignments that were due the first day you were
absent must be turned in the day you return.

Tests
A student who is absent the day of an exam will be obliged to take the exam on their day of return
to class. Example: A student who is here on the 19th, misses the exam on the 20th, returns on the
21st must take the exam that day. Exceptions will apply to students who are gone more than 2
days.

Progressive Testing
There is no progressive testing in computer science.

Tutorials
Tutorials are available upon request at all times except for Wednesday afternoon.

Conference Period
My conference period is from 1:40PM-2:30:PM

Electronics
All electronic devices, other than approved calculators, must be stored in your locker. If students
are seen with one during class at any time for any reason, the electronic device will be
confiscated and the appropriate actions will be taken. Please see the student handbook for a list
of devices.
