Paycheck

Grades will be given as a paycheck. In the construction industry your paycheck has “deductions” for work not completed to satisfaction. The students job in this class is to follow all the rules, and complete all assigned work with craftsmanship. Just like in the real world if your job is not completed to satisfaction your paycheck will be deducted from, so too will your notebook grade be deducted from in my class by me if you are not working to my satisfaction.

Attendance Recovery Policy

If a student is absent for 8 or more days in my class and is “recovering “ the absence. The student must let me know at least 3 days before recovering time so I can prepare a recovery packet. The recovery packet will consist of 10 essay question per day missed that must be completed with 80% accuracy in order to be eligible to recover my class
