Projects and Assignments
You will have two major projects each trimester and at least 3-4 assignments. When a due date is assigned to a project or assignment, it must be turned in on that day. If you do not have your assignment on its due date then you will get 10 points deducted for each day it is turned in past the due date. For example, if your project is due on Monday and you turn it in on Wednesday you automatically lose 20 points off of your project grade. So if you were going to get an A on it, you may only get a C. That is why it is so important to turn your projects in on time.

Class Participation
Each day you have the opportunity to earn 3 points. In order to receive all three points you must:
 * participate and contribute __thoughtfully__ to class discussions
 * follow directions
 * abide by all classroom rules

Typing
Each day you will begin class with a typing lesson (as assigned) and a one minute typing test. Scores must be verified, recorded and initialled by Mrs. Jundef. Final grade based on your effort and percent of improvement. All typing must be done WITHOUT looking at the keyboard. Looking at the keyboard is CHEATING!

Saving Work
It is your responsibility to save your work. All work must be saved to the Exemption Drive AND and a back up location. You should ALWAYS save your work twice. It is your responsibility to save your work. Lost work will result in a failing grade so please make sure to take the time to save your work appropriately.

== IF YOU ARE CAUGHT ON YOUR PERSONAL E-MAIL, PLAYING GAMES (WITHOUT PERMISSION), OR WANDERING THE WEB FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL REASONS YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE ALL 3 POINTS FOR THE DAY WITHOUT DISCUSSION. ==
