Late Work Policy:
Projects are self-paced in nature with a weekly goal to help keep you on track. You alone are responsible for checking your grades and staying current with your assignments. Assignments turned in past their due date will receive a 2-letter grade deduction. Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exams cannot be made up, no exceptions. 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.
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, welding 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.
Drugs and Alcohol and Tobacco:
If I smell or suspect that a student is under the influence (Odors, altered behavior, etc.) in class or lab, the student will be asked to leave for that day to maintain a safe environment. The student will be referred to the Administration for this infraction of the Student Code of Conduct (found in the Student Handbook) and possibly be dismissed from the welding program because of the threat to the safety of others.
