You are expected to check the website to keep up-to-date with class happenings and homework assignments. Remember... It is your responsibility to make up your work in the time alloted, 1 day for each day absent. Expect to use an activity block or office hours for lab make-up. There are specific instructions for making up missed lab work. See the handout in the documents section.
You need to read the section in the student handbook (pages 11 and 12) that addresses academic integrity. You can also view the school's policy from my website (see the main page for icon link). In this class you will do a lot of collaborative group work. Working together is acceptable and encouraged, but you must never copy any written work from another student. Be honest with yourself, the ultimate goal is for YOU to learn and understand the material and you will demonstrate how well you have mastered the material when tested.
Of course this shows that you are wisely utilizing the vast capabilities of the technology, but ABSOLUTELY NOT! NO CELL PHONES IN CLASS! THE WILL BE CONFISCATED WITHOUT WARNING.
