Social Science Procedures/Mr. Jenkins
THINGS TO REMEMBER
All High School Social Science Classes / Mr. Jenkins
1. The grading scale for this course is posted on the west wall and the grading system will be explained to you on the first day.
2. There is no seating chart in this classroom. Be comfortable.
3. As a rule, the last couple of minutes of class are for your rest and relaxation. I reserve the right, however, to use that time period if circumstances dictate.
4. All assignments are turned in on the front table. If you come to class and there is an assignment on that table, feel free to pick it up.
5. You can expect everything handed out by me relative to this class to be typed.
6. Credit shall be given to those students who find spelling, grammatical or technical errors on any exams.
7. Please take care of your books and desks. Bonus points are given for the use of planners.
8. This class has an open gradebook policy. Additionally, grades are posted (confidentially) each Friday.
9. Progress reports shall be sent home to each student every 4.5 weeks.
10. All work shall be written in ink unless otherwise told.
11. Failure to place your name on an assignment will result in a 2 letter grade deduction.
12. Work may be turned in late (up to 3 days) with the understanding that a letter grade shall be deducted for each day that it is late. Missing assignments are converted to “O” on the first and fifteenth of each month.
13. A one letter grade deduction (for that assignment(s)) may be made for students that do not pick up their assignments before school.
14. A student may be late for class (up to 2 times) without penalty. After that, the nine weeks grade shall drop by one letter grade for each late arrival.
15. Chronic absences from class will result in morning study halls for each day of absence. Additionally, if a student misses an exam in the morning and comes back to school in the afternoon, the student is required to make up the exam that day.
16. Swearing, sleeping in class and chronic restroom trips will be dealt with individually.
17. My desk is my personal domain. Please do not sit in it or take things off of it without permission.
18. Cheating is any misrepresentation of one’s work. Punishment will range from a single letter grade deduction for the nine weeks to removal from the class.
