o  Labs

o  Tests/quizzes

-  This is subject to a random notebook check – a grade will be given

Notes

-  Notes are always given in PowerPoint format

Academic Dishonesty

-  Students must submit their own work on all assignments including homework, lab reports, research papers, etc. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, looking at another student’s quiz or test, looking at one’s notes while taking a quiz or a test, plagiarizing another student’s homework or assignment, and plagiarizing copyrighted material.

-  Any student found cheating will receive a zero for that assignment and a phone call home.

**If I see you talking during a quiz or a test, this will be interpreted as cheating**

Quizzes and Tests

-  Quizzes are given roughly once a week

-  Tests are given at the end of a chapter or unit

-  Study sheets are given before tests

Grading Policy

-  Grading is done on a point system

-  No extra credit is given, as there are ample opportunities to improve your grade in this class

-  Quizzes and tests will make up the majority of points in this class

-  Each homework assignment, quiz, test, exit slip, lab report, lap handout summary, notebook check, class participation/conduct will be worth a certain amount of points.
