Student learning will be assessed in a number of different ways. Prep work (aka homework) will be graded for completion. Weekly quizzes will assess a chosen objective of the week. Class work, projects, papers will be assigned along with collaborative group work. || A 93-100 B 85-92 C 77-84 D 76-70 F 69 and below |||| ** __Grade Breakdowns:__ ** Prepwork: Quizzes: Class work: Papers/Projects: Assessments: || If you are absent, you will have 5 school days (from your return to school) to make-up any missed work without a penalty.
 * 
 * Grading and Evaluation Methods: **
 * ** Grading Rubric:   **
 * EOC: 25% of your FINAL Grade (English I and Algebra I only) ||
 * ** Make-up or Late Work: **
 * __Make-Up Work:__ **

If you fail to turn in an assignment on time, you will only be given 5 school days to turn it in. For every day the assignment is late, 10 points will be deducted. The assignment will not be taken after 5 school days. This includes papers, projects, journals, presentations, performances and labs. || ** Attendance ** **Procedure**: Parents will be notified after the **sixth** and **tenth** absence of possible denial of course credit. The administrative team along with parent and student will create a plan for attendance improvement. ** Twenty-first ** absence-**If a student misses more that twenty days (20), course credit will be denied unless waived by SSMT (Student Services Management Team).** Student may request an appeal for a waiver to the SSMT due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness, death in immediate family, etc.). **Student must be able to document all days of absences in the appeal process (examples-court documents, doctors’ notes).** Waiver decisions will be determined at the end of the school year.

 * **Academic Integrity: ** Craven Community College and Craven Early College is committed to academic excellence through honesty and integrity. To protect all students from the results of dishonest conduct, the College has adopted policies to address these issues. It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with and understand all academic policies and the consequences for failure to adhere to these policies. Please read and follow all policies listed in the Campus Planner or in the Student Handbook **Code of Conduct** at: [] ||
 * ** Attendance, Tardiness: **
 * ** Attendance, Tardiness: **
 * ** Attendance, Tardiness: **
 * First-Twentieth ** absence-Student is expected to request make up work from their teachers and is responsible for making up that work within five school days. If absences are consecutive more time may be allowed at the teacher’s discretion.

|| [] || Prep work will be assigned. I expect it to be completed as it serves as reinforcement of preparation for upcoming assignments or activities. Prep work may be graded on completion or used for class discussions or activities. Prep work will only be accepted the day that it is due.
 * Tardy Procedure ** :
 * 1) First tardy-Teacher records tardy and warns student.
 * 2) Second tardy-Teacher emails or calls parent that the second tardy has occurred and reminds parent of possible consequences.
 * 3) Third tardy-Student will stay after school and will be assigned cleanup detail.
 * 4) Continued tardiness will result in other consequences determined by the Dean.
 * **Learning and Other Resources on Campus: ** Craven Community College offers the following resources to support student education goals: The Academic Skills Center provides a Tutorial Computer Lab, Writing Lab, and Math Lab. These labs are staffed by instructors and advanced students to offer assistance with any level of math or writing. Tutorial assistance for CCC students is provided through the Supplemental Instruction program and a nationally certified peer tutoring program. The ASC administers make-up tests per instructor guidelines, hosts a variety of workshops, and assists special needs students. The Goodwin Memorial Library provides a collection of resources selected to support the educational programs offered by the College. Internet access is available in the library to CCC students for educational purposes.

Class discussions and activities are vital to the course. These may include but are not limited to warm-ups/exit passes, worksheets, writing assignments, hands on activities, group investigations and presentations. Your work will be graded on completion and/or accuracy using the given rubric. • Each member contributes to the group’s work. • Each member of the group is responsible for listening carefully when another group member is talking. • Each member of the group has the responsibility and the right to ask questions. • Each group member should help others in the group when asked. • Each member of the group should be considerate and encouraging. • All members should work together until everyone in the group understands and can explain the group’s results. || [] ||
