CHS Web Design Track

Grading Policy:

The purpose of grades is to provide effective feedback to students, parents, and the school administration about a student’s progress towards mastery of the established standards. Throughout the semester, students are expected to complete formative and summative assessments. Further assessments include, but are not limited to, homework, class activities, participation, lab activities, projects, quizzes, and exams. The Carson High School grading scale will be used in this class.

Grading Criteria Web Design I:

50% Assignments/Technical Skills

Any assignment created using the various programs available on your computer will be graded in these criteria. Any written work required by the instructor will also be graded in this category.

Following the completion of each unit, there will be an exam. Exams come in two forms, written and practical. Practical exams will take place on the computer. Throughout the semester, quizzes will be given.

Grades will be available in the Infinite Campus and on Google Classroom.
Please check Infinite Campus regularly (not during class time), and feel free to ask me any questions that you might have about a particular grade. I make mistakes, so this is your opportunity to make sure I've got everything correct! This can be done before or after class or via e-mail.
If you do not have an Infinite Campus login, you can get one from the front office.
EXTRA CREDIT POLICY: There is no extra credit available. I grade on mastery. Do the assigned work.
Project/TEST/QUIZ RETAKE: You may re-do any project, test or quiz as long as we are in that unit or the next unit until you are happy with your work.
LIFE HAPPENS! If you are having issues at school or at home, have a huge exam coming up for science, or realize you need more time to complete your absolute best work for any other reason, e-mail me and request an extension. You must come talk to me or e-mail me the day before for the extension to be granted. You cannot come in 5 minutes before class without your assignment and expect an extension.

Absentee & Late Policy

YES — WE DID SOMETHING IMPORTANT WHILE YOU WERE ABSENT. It is your responsibility to check with Google Classroom (first), a classmate (second) or me (last and only if you are confused) the day you return to class to find out what you missed.

You have 4 DAYS for each day you are absent to make up missed work. After that day, any missing assignments will be accepted with a late penalty.

Any assignment you are absent for will be entered as a ZERO until it is turned in.

Late work is accepted; once the work is late, it will be accepted for 60% (D-) of the grade. Late work will be entered in Infinite Campus when I get to it. If my work is not your priority, putting it in Infinite Campus immediately is not mine. DO NOT repeatedly ask me to enter it 5 minutes after you turn it in. Turning in work ontime is a Career Readiness standard and is part of the students' grades.

Plagiarism:

What it is & how to avoid it

To plagiarize is defined as taking ideas and writings or work of another and passing them off as one’s own. Students caught plagiarizing (both the copier and the copied) will be given a ZERO for the assignment.

Plagiarism includes...

turning in someone else’s work as your own
copying a friend’s work 5 minutes before class (or having another teacher catch you copying work in his/her classroom)
failing to cite a source ( When unsure of what can or cannot be used, ask the teacher. )
copying an author’s exact words or code and passing them off as your own

Cheating...

The teacher will notify the administration and contact parents if cheating is suspected.
The student will be given a failing grade for that particular test, assignment, for the grading period, or for the semester.
Students involved in cheating may be excluded from any/all school activities.
