Student Expectations

Please be respectful at all times to your fellow classmates, myself, and other teachers

  1. Class participation is essential for daily lectures, projects, and cooperative learning. Please do your best to stay focused and involved.  We will cover a great deal of material and the assignments will be fun and educational. Should you have additional questions make sure you ask right away.
  2. YOU are responsible for any and all work. If you missed a day of class or need to make up an assignment, check Power School to see what you have a 0 for and ask questions accordingly. Extra credit is a privilege, not a right. It is only given at the teacher's discretion.
  3. See student handbook for appropriate academic conduct and the honor system. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses and will not be tolerated! If you have a physical, psychiatric/emotional, medical, or learning disability that may influence your ability to carry out assigned course work, you are encouraged to let me know as soon as possible in a private manner.  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 unless it is a group assignment.
  4. Never be afraid to ASK QUESTIONS. There is no such thing as a dumb question, only the ones not asked. If you are unsure of something, do not hesitate to message me immediately and I will do my best to assist you. If you need help with your assignment, do not hesitate to ask also. Asking for help or asking a question doesn’t make you any less than anyone else.
  5. HAVE FUN! This class is all about being creative and taking a hobby or a dream and making it a reality. Who knows that dream could make you millions one day….
