Grade Rounding Policy & Semester Tests:

Semester tests will be given on the scheduled test date. They will be weighted at 20% of a
students final grade. This score will be added to the students semester accumulative score. .5
% or higher grades will be rounded up. Example: 94.5% will be rounded to 95%. 94.49 will be
treated as 94%.

Make Up Work
Makeup tests: Tests should be made up within one week of missing a scheduled test date.
Testing Policy: No talking, No cheating. Tests will be collected and given no credit if either
offence is violated.
Makeup work: Missing assignments should be turned in within one week of missing a scheduled
assignment.

General Information
Classroom rules:
1. Please do not write in your textbook, unless I ask you to.
2. No horseplay, throwing things, or vandalism will be tolerated.
3. Be polite, courteous, and respectful to your fellow classmates and the things they
draw.
4. No Profanity.
5. Keep talking to a minimum.
6. No COMPUTER GAMES EVER. This computer lab is used during this hour strictly
for AutoCAD and not the Internet. If you are completely done with your work and
have a homework assignment that needs to be done with the NET then it may be
allowed if you ask. This is an educational computer lab not a game room at any
time. If I catch you playing games on the computers during classtime, you will
receive one hour of detention. If a second offence occurs, 3 hours of detention will
be given. If a third offense occurs, computer privileges may be revoked and a
separate set of lessons will be given using hand drafting skills.
