EXPECTATIONS

 

In order to have a fun, positive, and successful semester, I expect everyone to adhere to the following expectations in our classroom.

 

  • RESPECT: show respect for the classroom, your peers, any staff members, and yourself.

  • ATTENDANCE: attend all classes on time and prepared. I do give plenty of time for work to be completed during class time, and thus consistent attendance will help you stay on top of assignments.

  • HAND IN ASSIGNMENTS: your success in this course is mostly dependent on the quality and completion of your class work. Be sure to hand in assignments in a timely manner. If an assignment is handed in late and there has been no prior discussion with me, I will mark your assignment like it’s late! IF YOU NEED EXTRA TIME, COME AND TALK TO ME BEFORE THE DUE DATE!

  • QUALITY OF WORK: Assignments should be neat and not in rough copy.

  • PLAGIARISM: please do not copy and paste from Google and pretend it is your own! I will find out. It’s not fun for either of us. If you are caught plagiarizing, you will receive one free pass and a chance to redo the assignment. If you are caught plagiarizing a second time, you will receive zero.

  • TRY YOUR BEST: ask for assistance when needed!

 

 

 

I want you to be successful in this course! Let’s have a fun semester!
