Syllabus
If you miss class for any reason, excused or unexcused, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed. This does not mean you should ask me during the next class period that you attend. This implies you need to find time outside of class to make up for this missed time. You may get notes and find out what you missed from a classmate or you may come and see me before or after school. I will not take time out of everybody else’s class to get the one student that was absent caught back up.
If needed, I am available every day after school, although I do like to sneak out of here as soon as possible on Fridays. I will make arrangements with you; however, if this is the only day you are able to stay after school. If you would need to meet before or during the school day, please contact me to make arrangements. Remember, I am here to help you so do not hesitate to come to me with any questions you may have about this class or this school. My extension here at school is 6429 (532-0525) and my e-mail is mcdonald@wrightstown.k12.wi.us. My free periods this year are 4th and 5th. Please try to talk to me first to ensure that I will be there when you plan on coming to see me.
Grades
Your grade in this class will be calculated on a total points scale. Everything I grade will be counted and then your total points earned will be divided by the total points possible resulting in your percentage for the class. This percentage will then be broken down as follows:
A 93 ≤ A < 100
A- 90 ≤ A- < 93
B+ 87 ≤ B+ < 90
B 83 ≤ B < 87
B- 80 ≤ B- < 83
C+ 77 ≤ C+ < 80
C 73 ≤ C < 77
C- 70 ≤ C- < 73
D+ 67 ≤ D+ < 70
D 63 ≤ D < 67
D- 60 ≤ D- < 63
F 59 and below
