-Be in class on time (Seated when the bell rings).

-Do not talk while others are talking.

-Show others the respect they deserve.

-Learn about physics.

-Have fun. (Most of the time)

-Food and Drink are not allowed in the physics rooms! (Or any classroom at EVHS.)

Assignments:

-With little exception assignments are due at the start of the hour.

-At certain times you will have class time to work on the assignment before it is due. If this is the case, you we be informed.

-Late work is penalized a minimum of 50%. This is determined at instructors discretion.

Grading:

Letter grades will be determined as follows:

A = 92% and above

A- =90 – 91.9%

B+ = 88-89.9%

B =82-87.9%

B-  =80-81.9%

C+ =78-79.9%

C =72-77.9%

C-  = 70-71.9%

D+ =68-69.9%

D =63-67.9%

D-  =60-62.9%

F =Below 65%

Pass/NC: To receive a pass on this option you must turn in all course work and have 70% in the class.

(The above grading scale is a guideline and may be changed.)

Attendance:

-Your attendance in class is crucial for success. If you must miss class for any reason you are responsible for getting any makeup work or notes from the day or days missed. If your absence is unexcused please show me your admit.

-Tardiness to class is unacceptable. You are late if you are not seated when the bell rings. According to the school attendance policy, 3 tardies equal 1 absence.

-You will receive a participation grade. Participation grades are used to the student's advantage or disadvantage when the student's grade falls on the borderline (Ex: someone with 81.9% that has maintained an excellent participation will receive a B instead of a B-). The above policies are in place to encourage your constant and prompt attendance to class.
