    CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

    Students are expected to:

    ·         Be prepared (textbook, pen/pencil, flash drive, completed assignments, and calculator, 3-ring binder).

    ·         Complete class assignments and homework, maintain a notebook and prepare for assessments.

    ·         Be on time for class and participate in class discussions and projects.

    ·         Complete work missed during an absence.

    ·         Follow school and district policies.

    ·         Attend extra help when class material needs additional explanation.

     

    MATERIALS

    1.    Pen/pencil

    2.    1 GB Flash Drive

    3.    TI-30XIIS Calculator (Texas Instruments)

    4.    3-Ring Binder w/ sheet protectors

     

    ABSENCES

    ·         Students are responsible for all work missed during an absence (this includes notes).  Work missed due to an unexcused absence will receive a “0”.  (Refer to the discipline policy.)

     

    GRADING

    • Quarter grades will be comprised of tests, class assignments, class notes, homework, class projects, clean-up activities, progress reports, Do Nows/bell ringers, and quizzes.
    • Quarter grades will be determined by dividing the number of points earned by the number of points possible.
    • The final grade is computed by averaging the percentages earned for each of the four quarters.  (Note:  An actual earned grade will be reflected on the report card.)

    CLASS ASSIGNMENTS

    • Class assignments are to be completed in class.  Any assignment not completed in class will receive a “0”.  Absent students must be “excused” to make up the missed work.
    • Class assignments should include student’s name, date, and assignment.

     

     

    PROJECTS

    • All Projects will need to be completed by a desired deadline.
    • Projects will be graded depending on the overall completeness and efforts towards the finished product.
    • Any project unfinished by the deadline will result in a zero.

     

     

    MANUFACTURING

    ·         Students are responsible to acquire training on the various manufacturing equipment (CNC Router, Laser Engraver, 3D Printer) in the lab.

    ·         Students will participate in engineering design reviews that will encompass the process as which a finished product will be manufactured.

     

    CLEAN-UP ACTIVITIES

    ·         Students are required to participate in a 5 day clean-up activity once each quarter.

    ·         Students will be assessed on the clean-up activity performed for each day.

    ·         Students will be assessed on the detail of writing about their performance as well as the progress made in the classroom.

     

    DO NOWS/BELL-RINGERS

    • Do Nows are given at the beginning of a class period and shall be completed in the provided composition notebook.  Notebooks will be graded every two weeks and are awarded 2 points per Do Now (20 points total every two weeks)
    • Do Nows must include the problem, date, circled answer, and all work must be shown to receive full credit.
    • Students that have an excused absence are exempt from that missed Do Now.
