I do not accept late work except in the case of a medical or family emergency. If your work is not done on time, don't bother turning it in or sending me excuses for why it is not done. If there is a medical or family emergency, you must provide me with written and dated documentation from a parent or healthcare provider indicating why you were unable to turn in your work on the due date.
No passing grade will be given if all assignments are not completed and handed in. Constructive classroom involvement will be used to nudge a grade either up or down. Constructive classroom involvement is attendance, constructive discussion, helping other students, and volunteering for demonstrations. Non-constructive involvement is anything which adversely disrupts the labs and non-attendance. This specifically includes working on the class computers during times when the instructor is lecturing or students are making presentations. Students who insist on being disrespectful in this manner will have their grades docked.
It is your responsibility to keep track of your grades over the course of the semester. Your grades are posted on D2L and can be checked at any time. You earn your grades by the degree to which you meet the requirements of the assignments. If you find that you are not doing as well as you would like to be doing in the class you can meet with me to discuss extra credit projects. If you feel that I have made a mistake recording a grade or failed to enter a grade that you earned correctly, I encourage you to email me so that I can correct it. I do not wish to receive emails requesting that I change your grade because you would prefer to have a higher one. I will not reply to emails of this nature.
