Mrs. Elia’s

“Company Policy”

2018-2019

Java Computer Programming

Grade composition:

30% Notes
30% Daily class participation, and pop quizzes
40% Quizzes, Tests, and projects.

Some projects will be weighted as a test and others as class activity .

Homework

The student is responsible for completion and correction of homework assigned.

Homework will be checked randomly. Neatness and completeness is important.

Tardiness

Class starts immediately!

Every student is expected to be in the classroom and prepared for class after the second bell. There will be “break-detention” for the student who is chronically late.

Absence

Student is responsible for making up missed work. Check the class website and Edmodo.com for lessons and assignments. I’m available to answer questions during periods 2 and 7. Hours after school can also be scheduled by appointment.

Absent for a test or quiz

If you are absent the day of an announced quiz or test, you are expected to take the quiz/test on the day you return. If the make up is not taken, the quiz/test will be assigned a grade of zero.

Submission policy. You must submit your solutions electronically via edmodo.com. Be sure to follow these steps:

Find the assignment’s post

Copy and paste your work on the post.

If the assignment is a program, you also have to attach the file to the post.

The file has to have your initials followed an underscore and the program name.

Every program has to have a header:

Assignment description
Author’s name
Date
Input and output if they are part of the assignment
If the program doesn’t run successfully, write a short paragraph as part of the program header explaining the problem.

You can resubmit an assignment as needed up until the submission deadline. However, you may still submit it as late but you will not get full credit for it.

If you are working with a partner, both must submit your assignment.

Grading policy – Your code will be graded for correctness, efficiency, clarity, and style (including comments).

Grades: correct assignments based on the grading policy turned on or before the due date will earn a grade of A.

Cheating policy – “Absolute zero”. In addition, parents will be contacted.

Technology in the classroom
