This Week in CIS

Excel Lesson 4

Finish Step by step, Projects, Vocabulary and Review Questions.

Test on Friday 2/17

Grading System:

Grades will be assigned according to the district policy.

Grading Criteria:

10% Class Participation/Attendance

45% Tests/Quizzes

45% Classroom and Homework Assignments/ Computer Projects

Attendance: Since 10% of the marking period grade will be for class participation, a student who is chronically absent will not participate in classroom activities and not receive class participation points. Therefore, it is important for students not to make it a habit to miss class for appointments, club activities, etc. whenever possible.

All computer work must be done in class utilizing files on the file server. (Attendance in class is obviously very important since 45% of the grade is based on computer assignments.) No disks are allowed in the computer lab without the permission of the teacher.

Cheating Policy: Students are expected to assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a students submitted work, examinations, reports, and projects must be that of the students own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they:

1. Represent the work of others as their own.

2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work.

3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students.

4. Modify, without instructor approval, an examination, paper, record, or report for the purpose of obtaining additional credit.

5. Give another student access to files by giving them the password or otherwise providing access to the students own work. In the case of password violation, both students (the one giving his/her password and the one using the password to obtain or copy work) will receive a zero for that group of assignments (Lessons or Units being graded).

For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions of computing techniques. General advice and interaction are encouraged. However, students may not work together on graded assignments. Such collaboration constitutes cheating. If you need help on an assignment, contact your instructor, not other classmates.

Make Up tests: If you are absent on the day a test is given, you will be expected to take the test on the first day that you return to school. The only exception is in the case of an extended illness when three or more consecutive days have been missed. In that case, an arrangement will be made to make up the test within a reasonable amount of time.
