Progressbook

Course objectives will be pursued through a variety of activities including: tests, labs, quizzes, and other projects. Attendance is extremely important. Cheating and plagiarism are intolerable and any infringement will be pursued according to the student handbook. The overall grade for the course will be determined based upon the following three categories: - Tests will consist of multiple choice and short answers. || - Many labs will use the gathered data and require an online submission (using Google Drive). - Group projects and presentations will be completed using Google Drive. || - Any absence results in a loss of the points (except for class meetings or calls to the office). - If absent, the point may be earned back by showing an **excused** note from the office __and__ making up the time before school. If the absence is unexcused, no points can be earned back. - Points can be lost due to sleeping in class, not doing work during labs, unauthorized use of the phone, not doing the previous night's homework, etc. || Note: No extra credit will be given. 100-93 = A 92-90 = A- 89-87 = B+ 86-83 = B 82-80 = B- 79-77 = C+ 76-73 = C 72-70 = C- 69-67 = D+ 66-63 = D 62-60 = D- Below 60 = F
