Grades & Class Policies Web Site Projects:​ 40% of grade ● Students are evaluated most heavily on their actual production, as they would be in the world of employment. ● Websites are evaluated based on the website evaluation rubric created collectively by students early in the course and updated as needed throughout the course.

Required Daily Assignments: ​20% of grade ● The Student Assignment Checklist provides a single convenient page for tracking all assignments. (Includes classwork and homework.) ● Student journal - Students will be encouraged to express what they've learned, and how they've applied it. This can assume many forms: ○ A unit posting to an online class discussion list at scheduled intervals ○ A student blog, updated at scheduled intervals

Participation: ​10% of grade

● Attendance/tardiness ● Cooperation with classmates ● No off task computer use

Quizzes: ​10% of grade Tests: ​20% of grade Cheating ​- ​including plagiarism, copying answers, logging in as someone else to complete assignments and ​any​ other method where a student has not completed his/her own work honestly and independently - will result in a ​zero​! Absences​ ​- check Google Classroom and the teacher’s website for an update on what was missed. You will have as many days as you were out to make up the missing work ​(ex.: 2 days absent = 2 day extension) Lateness ​- If you are late to school, you must get a pass from the attendance office to be excused. ​ 3 unexcused latenesses = detention. Passes​ ​- Passes to the restroom, nurse or water fountain will be signed in a student’s passbook ​ONLY​. Please do not interrupt a lesson to ask for a pass. Extra Help​ - Please don’t hesitate to see me if you need help! :-)
