Grading Policy: Cumulative grading will be used in this course. Each card marking is worth 30% of the finalgrade. All assignments (includes Work-Based and Service Learning Projects); quizzes; and tests will beincluded in the final grade. All late work will receive 50% credit. Grades will be determined using thefollowing scale:100-94 A89-88 B 79 - 78 C 69 - 68 D 59 – 0 F93-90 A87-84 B77 - 74 C67-64 D83 - 80 B73 - 70 C63 - 60 D(Class work is not optional; refusal will earn the student 0’s for the day)It is my belief that when due dates are established and not adhered to disservice is being done to the studentswho do submit assignments on time. You should submit assignments by the due date, except in extremesituations. Late Work will receive up to 50% deduction of the grade value assigned (deduction of points, willbe at my discretion, depending on such factors as degree of lateness and whether it impacts any otherstudents (for example in group projects or discussions). Assignments submitted late may not be graded untilthe end of the card marking.Also, a comprehensive final exam will be given which will count for 10% of the final grade. It is advised thatstudents keep ALL graded papers in their binder until the end of the semester. Academic progress can bemonitored by averaging out the grades on these papers on a daily basis (this is more accurate than MiStar).* The instructor reserves the right to adjust the course grade determination as needed.Tests and Quizzes: Quizzes will be given periodically and may not be announced in advance. If a quiz isgiven on the day of an unexcused absence or unexcused tardy, a zero will be recorded and no make-upallowed.Grade Discrepancies: In order to discuss any grading discrepancies the student must meet with the teacherafter class with ALL supporting documents/graded assignments.Absence/Tardiness: Good attendance is expected and is necessary for successful academic progress in ABT.Since all work in this class involves computer software and textbooks housed at SHS (textbooks do not leavethe room) tardiest and absences will put one substantially behind rather quickly.

CLASS PARTICIPATION cannotbe made up!!!Academic Dishonesty: Any student found cheating (giving or receiving work) will receive a zero for thatwork and the appropriate parental and administrative referral will follow.

Determination of academic dishonesty shall bebased on the judgment of the instructor, or other supervising employee, taking into consideration writtenmaterials, observation, or information from other students.STUDENTS WHO CHEAT WILL RECEIVE A ZERO ON THE ASSIGNMENT, PROJECT, QUIZ, OR EXAM.
