This is a hands-on course
where each student will be at a computer. The teacher will review each lesson
adn students are expected to work on their assignments. Students will be working in a self-paced
environment to assure each student has mastered each lesson. The teacher will
introduce the lesson and the basic concepts and the student will follow the
step by steps. Students are responsible for the end of the lesson material.
**Please note that if you are
Late or Absent: It is your responsibility to get the course notes/handouts,
textbook reading, and laboratory assignments should you miss class or be late.
Cheating Policy:
Students are
expected to uphold the school’s standard of conduct relating to academic
honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of
the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity
shall be that a student's submitted work; examinations, reports, and projects
must be that of the student's own work.
For this class, it is
permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing
techniques. General advice and interaction are encouraged. Each person,
however, must develop his or her own solutions to the assigned projects,
assignments, and tasks. In other words, students may not "work
together" on graded assignments. Such collaboration constitutes cheating.
A student may not use or copy (by any means) another's work (or portions of it)
and represent it as his/her own. If you need help on an assignment, contact
your instructor, not other classmates.
STUDENT ASSESSMENT:
Students will complete
learning activities after lessons.
Various forms of assessment--worksheets, labs, projects, tests, etc...
LATE WORK:
The teacher
will inform students when assignment/homework is to be completed. All work
will be due the next day unless teacher decides otherwise. All work is due
at the beginning of class.
Consequences for late work:
|
Late work 1st
day |
-5 points
deducted from assignment |
|
Late work 2nd
day |
-10 points
deducted from assignment |
|
Late work 3rd
day |
-15 points
deducted from assignment |
|
Late work
after 3rd day |
NO CREDIT |
Example:
Chapter 1 worksheet assignment is due on Tuesday. You come to class and do
not have your assignment completed at the beginning of class on Tuesday (-5
points deducted), you come to class on Wednesday and still no assignment
completed (-10 points deducted), you come to class on Thursday and
assignment still not handed in (-15 points deducted), and on Friday if you
completed the assignment you still won’t get credit and if you still haven’t
done the assignment, no (ZERO) points awarded and your grade will show a
late and a missing grade. Please complete work on time or suffer the
consequences.
My best advice
would be to get work done on time. Take responsibility for your grades!
Late work and
missing work grades will show on the campus grade book.
GRADING:
Students will be graded by using the point method.
Each assignment is worth different points. Daily work could be worth up to 100
points. Quizzes/Projects range from 10-200 points. Tests range from 40-200 points. Lab and
written tests will be given.
·
Tests=40% of
final grade
·
Daily work=20% of
final grade
·
Reminder about the weighted grading, if you don’t do so well on one area
(test or quiz or daily work), that will show up on your overall grade. For
example, you may do well on tests and daily work and you fail 3 out of 10
quizzes, your grade will reflect that. Don’t assume what your grade is, look
it up on DDN Campus.
·
Example of how grades are figured using weighted grades:
·
Test grades (your pts./total pts):
10/15, 20/30, 40/50=70/95=74%=D
·
Quiz grades (your pts./total pts):
0/10, 2/10, 8/10=10/30=33%=F
·
Daily work (your pts./total pts):
8/10, 30/40, 23/25=61/75=81%=C
·
The below figures shows how to find your overall grade.
· Test totals 74% X 40%=.30
· Quiz totals 33% X 40%=.13
·
Daily totals 81% X 20%=.16
·
Total up these points=.59 or 59%=F=Overall Grade
Grading Scale:
A 100-93
B 92-86
C 85-78
