Attendance and Participation grading for class
The following outline will be used for daily grading for all classes from 7:30-1:00
Points will start to be deducted for arriving after 8:00 for showing up at
8:00-8:15-----10
8:15-8:30-----20
8:30-8:45-----30
8:45-9:00-----40
9:00-and after 50+
Showing up after 9:00 without a valid excuse, and you may be sent home for the day. Repeatedly showing up late will result in more points being deducted for each occurrence.
Lunch is from 12:00-12:30 every day unless otherwise stated, arriving back late will be up to 25 points deducted from your daily total.
If you leave at lunch time either at 12 or 12:30, provided you showed up on time and have no other deductions you will get a 75 for the day. Leaving early, without getting your instructors permission first, will be counted the same as a tardy.
As is stated in the syllabus, 3 tardy’s equal an absence. Up to 10 points may be deducted from your final grade for each absence.
You must sign in and sign out every day. If you do not sign out, you will be given a 50 for the day, even if you were in class all day. Put the actual time you showed up on the sign in sheet and be honest. If I catch you putting a fake time in or signing out before the day is over, I will take off more points than what I have listed in the rubric above.
If you can’t make it to class, if you at least send me an e-mail letting me know that, along with the reason why before the start of the class, I will give you 25 pts for the day. It is not much but at least it’s not a Zero.
This grade is attendance AND PARTICIPATION. You can be in class all day, but that doesn’t mean you may get a 100. Points can also be deducted for things like but not limited to, being on your cell phone during class time, sleeping, rude or obnoxious behavior, not participating in class discussions or labs, not following directions from your instructor, or any other behavior not fit for a classroom environment.
If you have any questions about this criteria, feel free to discuss them with me personally.
