Attendance / Class Participation / Time on Task

Daily attendance in this course is essential as most of the assignments will be completed in class.
Absences will result in students falling behind in daily work. Each student will have the
opportunity through attendance and class participation to earn up to 20 class participation points
per week. Poor attendance, disruptions in class, not participating in class discussions, and
behavioral problems can lower this grade and will affect your overall score for this course. As
long as you are willing to put a reasonable amount of effort in the course, you should have no
problem doing well.

Make Up Work / Late Work

If you are absent please bring your admit slip to Mr. Bartz before class starts on the day you
return to school. The policy for make up work will follow the school guidelines detailed in the
student handbook unless otherwise stated by the teacher (ex. Projects taking more than a week to
complete). It is the responsibility of the student to check for any missing assignments when
they return to school. Class time will rarely be given to students who need to make up missing
assignments. Students should plan on making up those assignments before / after school, during
lunch, or during their study hall. Late work will not be accepted.

Hall Passes

Each student will be given 3 hall passes per nine weeks to use to go to their lockers, the
restroom, drinking fountain, etc. Bonus points will be awarded for unused passes at the end of
the nine weeks.

Saving / Turning in Assignments

All work should be saved on the students Z:/ drive in the appropriate Computer Applications
class folder. The computers in the lab are periodically “cleaned out” to optimize performance
and could result in the deletion of improperly saved files. Most assignments will be turned in
electronically through the P:/ drive. Assignments with improper file names / locations will not
be graded.
