ü Nine Weeks Exam 20%
100%
EMPLOYER EVALUATION
This is a grade that you will receive 2 times per semester from your employer. Your employer will evaluate you based on your work performance and I will record your grade in the grade book. This is worth 30% of your semester grade.
TIME SHEET/CALENDAR/CHECK STUB
Your calendar, time sheet, and check stub will count as a grade each week. Your job is very important to your success in the program. Your work hours should average 15 hours per week. You should work a minimum of 60 hours per month in order to attain your required 540 hours. You MUST bring a pay stub each time you get paid and make a copy for your folder. I will be in CLOSE contact with your employer in order to complete the required forms.
If for some legitimate reason, you must change jobs, it must first be approved by me, you must have another job secured, and you must give a full 2 weeks’ notice to your current employer. If you lose your job due to your negligence (get fired), you will receive a “0” for the employer evaluation for that grading period. It is up to you to find another job with a reasonable amount of time or you will be dismissed from the program and forfeit your credit.
ATTENDANCE AND MAKE-UP WORK
Being present in class is vital to your success in this subject. Make sure you come on time. However, if you are absent, it is your responsibility to follow the procedures below.
MAKE-UP WORK
Make-up work will be available for students who miss due to a legitimate reason. The make-up policy is based on the student handbook which states that STUDENTS are responsible for getting any work missed. An assignment station is posted in the classroom and should be checked upon return.
All make-up work is to be placed in the make-up tray. Any work not turned in properly and by the final deadline will be recorded as a ZERO that cannot be made up. Notes should be copied from another student immediately. Test will require a scheduled make-up time. See me for date/time.
Any handouts /worksheets missed will be labeled with the student’s name and placed in the appropriate class tray. It is the responsibility of the student to check the “missed work” tray upon their return to class and complete the work within three days.
You will have THREE days (including the day that you return) to make-up any work missed. After the three days, a ZERO is recorded and will not be changed.
NOTEBOOK INFORMATION
You will be given a grade on the way that you keep your notebook. This includes keeping up with handouts, taking notes, completing test reviews and being organized. This grade will be recorded as a major test grade. If you do not have a notebook (JUST FOR CPE), you will receive a 0 for a major test grade.
