Student Expectations

- Listen attentively and take notes

Required Student Materials: 3 ring binder/Notebook and HB Pencil
LAB Work Policy:
No food or drink at the computers. Drafting assignments are self-paced in nature with a weekly goal to help keep you on track. You are responsible for checking your grades and staying current with your assignments. If you are unable to make a deadline or be present for class, reach out to me ASAP so we can discuss options/ make arrangements. IF YOU MISS CLASS, you are responsible for making up the work on your own time (use enrichment for example). I do not offer additional instruction to cover material you missed that I previously covered in class. Plan to work with someone who was present for class if you are absent and don’t know what to do.
Cell Phones:
Your focus needs to be on the material being presented and the tasks you will be doing. Cell phone usage during class time will not be tolerated, if you need to use your phone, ask permission first.
Grading: Your grade in this class will be an average of your attendance and professionalism grade and assignments and quizzes as outlined below:
Assessments/Quizzes: 70% of final grade
Encompasses a combination of assignments, projects, worksheets, and quizzes.
Attendance/ Professionalism (‘Adulting’): 30% of final grade
Regular attendance and work ethic/attitude is an important job skill and will be treated as such in my classes. 30 percent of your grade will be awarded based on your attendance, class participation, time management, and ability to follow the expectations and policies. Disrespect, tardiness, multiple absences, cell phone use during class time, and poor time management negatively affect your Attendance / Professionalism grade.
