Classroom Procedures

All students will be expected to follow the school rules as they appear in the student handbook.

All assignments must be done on a computer. All assignments will be posted on my website www.jalocke.com, with the due date.

The attendance policy will be as outlined in the student handbook. All work due on the day of the absence is due upon the return to class. Extra time will be allowed only in the case of an excused absence. Work made up within 5 school days will be given full credit. All other work missed due to unexcused absences or truancy will be graded according to the grading policy. No make up work will be accepted after 3 days unless previously discussed with the instructor.

Always come to class prepared. This means bring your textbook, notebook, paper and something to write with. Continual abuse will result in grade points being deducted or detentions assigned.

All notes and terms are to be in the two-column type. This provides a better way to study. Failure to do them this way may result with a zero or points taken off.

Any paper given out or passed in for a grade must have your name and date in the upper right hand corner of the paper failure to do this will result in points taken off.

No food or drinks (except for water) will be allowed in the classroom for any reason. Failure to obey this rule will result in a warning and possible detention.

Please fill out the information below, obtain the required signatures, and return the bottom portion by the due date.

Grading System

The following is the grading system that will be used in Automotive Related.

The students will be graded on class participation, bookwork, reading, knowledge checks, review questions, ASE test prep questions, and unit tests.

The grading values will be as follows: book work 10%, Knowledge checks 20%, reading and performance will be graded as participation at 10%, review questions 20%, ASE prep questions 10%, unit tests 30%.

All work will be given a grade of 0-100 on the work. That grade will be given the appropriate percentage towards a quarterly grade. That grade will appear on the report card. At the end of the year the four quarterly grades will be added and divided by four for a final grade. Midterm exams and final exams will be 5% each.

Classroom policy on make up work will be as follows: Work passed in 1 day late will lose 25%, work passed in two days late will lose 50%, and work passed in 3 days late will lose 75%. Work will not be accepted after 3 days unless previous arrangements were made. The only exception will be excused absences. In the case of an excused absence documented through the office, up to 5 days will be allowed to make up work with out any penalty. It is the students responsibility to acquire any work missed when absent.
