ExpectationsAll students are expected to:1.) Arrive to class on
time.2.) Bring all necessary supplies to class.3.) Show respect
towards Mrs. Creech and other students.4.) Make an effort to do
well.
AssignmentsGenerally, you will have time at the end of class to
complete assignments. If homework is assigned, it will be minimal.
This means that there is NO EXCUSE for assignments that are
incomplete. If you are not using your assigned homework time in
class wisely, there will be points deducted from your assignments.
Make it easy, finish your homework at school so you can spend your
night doing things you want to do, not things you HAVE to do.
ProjectsThroughout the year you will have a few projects
assigned. Although the content of these projects will vary, the
requirements and expectations will be similar:
Each project will require you to think deeper about one or more
of the topics that we have covered in class. Each project will
serve as a large percentage of your overall course grade. You will
have some opportunity within the projects to choose the direction
of your assignment ( this could mean choosing your own topic,
choosing the style you present your information, etc.). You will
have plenty of time in class to work on these projects, so do not
stress about finding time at home to complete them.
Academic HonestyPlease make sure that all of the work you turn
in to me is your own. If you are caught copying assignments from
other students, you will receive zeros on those assignments. If you
are caught plagiarizing sources from the internet, you will receive
a zero on the assignment. NOTE: This is pretty lenient, if you are
caught plagiarizing in COLLEGE, you will not only receive zeros but
may also be removed from school and have LEGAL action brought
against you. Save yourself the time and learn to do it the right
way now!
Grading Policy
90-100A80-89B70-79C60-69D59-belowF
I will be using a points system. Tests and projects will be
worth more points than every day assignments. You will also receive
class participation points for taking and keeping notes during the
school year.
If you disagree with a grade that you receive on an assignment,
project, or test you have the right to question this grade. I do,
however, require that you take this right seriously. All grade
concerns need to be submitted to Mrs. Creech IN WRITING within 48
hours of receiving the grade in question. Complaints not submitted
in writing will not be eligible for review.
Course WebsiteI will be posting all assignments, projects, and
other important information for class to a course website. You can
access this website to check what assignments have been given,
upcoming test dates or projects, and any other important
information. The website link is:
