Homework Policy:
Homework will be assigned to students. Most homework assignments will be due at the beginning of the next class session. On occasion, students will have several days to complete an assignment, in which case a due date will be given the day the homework is assigned. Students who do not turn in their homework on the day due will be given one additional day to turn in the assignment and receive half credit. Homework will not be accepted more than one day late.
Students who are absent the day work is assigned will have one day to complete homework assignments and five days to complete missed classroom work. Students missing practical activities will have to make arrangements to stay after school one day to make up the work. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor to find out what work the student missed.
Assessments: Formative assessments will be conducted throughout the course using a variety of homework assignments, quizzes, writing assignments, practical activities, and classroom discussions.
Summative assessments will be conducted at the end of each chapter using short answer questions, essay questions, multiple choice, matching, and practical exams.
The final exam will consist of short answer, essay questions, and practical situations. The information for the final will come from all information covered during the semester.
All written exams, with exception of the final exam, may be retaken once for a better grade with the following conditions:
1. The student must make arrangements with the instructor to complete test corrections.
2. The student makes arrangements to take the make-up exam.
3. The student was not found cheating on the exam being re-taken.
Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in a zero on that assignment and may lead to being dropped from the course, as per the school-wide cheating policy defined in the Olympian High School Student Handbook. During exams and quizzes, talking of any kind will not be permitted. Students found talking during an exam or quiz will have their exam collected and will receive a zero. Students found talking after they are finished with an exam and other students are still working will also receive a zero on that exam. Students violating this policy will not be allowed to make-up the exam.
