Always feel free to contact your
instructor if you have any questions or concerns any time before 9PM.
There will be weekly Labs where we will have ‘hands-on’
projects, ONLY IF Class work, tests, and reading is done.
Homework:
There will be homework assignments as needed to cover the curriculum. Most homework assignments will be reading sections of the online curriculum and some Internet research. I will try to keep the homework to a minimum depending on how much can be covered during class time.Attendance
is an absolute must! We will be moving quickly in this class and have a lot of information to cover and Labs to do. If a student is absent on lab or lecture days it will be difficult to catch up.Discipline:
1. As with all Compass classes their will be no talking or playing around.
The only talking will be discussing our subject and collaborating during lab
time. As soon as students enter the class they will need to log in to their
computer and log in to the Cisco curriculum, and be ready for instruction to
begin. We will have very little transition time.
2. There is no excuse for damaging computers. It is a crime and will be reported to the police as vandalism.
Notebooks are required. Handwritten notes are one of the best ways to remember information that is important and it makes a great reference for future use. Notebooks must be kept in an orderly fashion and must be legible. Notebooks will be checked weekly and will be part of the final grade. You may take notes in Microsoft Word if you would rather type.
Grading: There will be 16 chapter tests and a final exam making up the bulk of your grade. There will also be credit for attendance, class participation, and notebooks.
Exams:
1. There will be an exam every Thursday or Friday
morning. Each exam may take the entire class period so come to class ready
to go!
