COURSE POLICIES

Respect – yourself, your fellow learners, our equipment, and our school

Teaching Methods:

1. Lectures / Demonstrations – will be used to discuss objectives of each component and to illustrate methods of creating various projects.
2. Projects / Labs – will be the most important part of the study. It is through these methods that students will learn by doing the tasks and have a
chance to apply their knowledge to individual projects.
3. Learn It Online – using the textbook website, students will review terms and concepts relating to the material covered by playing games like “Wheel of
Terms” and “Who Wants To Be a Computer Genius”.
4. Assessments – along with the projects and labs, students will be assessed using quizzes, tests, and other special assignments.

Attendance / Missed Classes

Students must coordinate with the teacher for makeup of labs, projects, or any other missed assessments, instruction, etc. Since most new concepts are
built on previously learned material, it is important that this be done as soon as possible. The computer technology teachers will assist students to get them
caught up as quickly as possible. Students can check online for assignments missed using EDMODO.

Academic Integrity
Students are expected to model the academic integrity policy as defined in the Windham High School Academic Integrity Standard found in the student
handbook. This is especially important relative to use of materials found on the internet. Cut and paste of articles and submitting them as one’s own. THIS IS
PLAGIARISM.
Students with disabilities
Please contact me as soon as possible if you have a learning or physical disability that makes it difficult for you to be successful in class so that I may
provide whatever accommodations possible for you.

Notebook Requirement
Students must maintain an electronic notebook that contains all projects, handouts, and other items that the teacher assigns. This will be graded each
semester and checked periodically. It will be organized using the Windows Explorer File System and used during the “student led conferences”.

Student Planner Requirement

Students must bring their student planner to class. Students must record all assignments, test, quiz dates, etc. in their planner. The planner is also used as
the only pass system to leave class. The use of the planner will be and checked periodically.

Due Dates
All assignments are due on the dates indicated. Submissions after the due date will be marked down by at least a letter grade per week late. Absence from
class does not excuse late submission unless arrangements have been made with the instructor before the day that the assignment is due or an acceptable excuse
from the University is provided.

Assignments/lab work
In addition to any homework assignment given during class, the student must read each chapter of the book prior to the class discussion. Following the
class, a student should reread the material and work with the Checking Concepts and Terms section in the text. Skill Drills should be completed as well. Any
written assignment must be prepared using a word processor – no exception (this class is about learning to use a computer after all). Any handwritten
assignment will be rejected.
