Classroom Policies and Procedures

 

If the following requirements are met, this semester or school year will be enjoyable!

 

    • Attendance- You may not miss more than _______% of class time in order to receive credit for this course. This is not my rule, but SCC. If you know in advance that you will be out, please let me know so that I may give you your reading and class assignments. Also, if you are out for sickness or a family circumstance, class work must be made up within 5 school days of being absent.
    • Participation-Being alert in class and active in discussions will enhance not only your learning experience but also the class as a whole. Plan to be a part of open discussions and ask questions. You will be given handouts to follow along in class. Take notes and keep all of your handouts in your 3-ring binder for easy access for class assignments and studying for tests.
    • Homework Assignments-Most of your homework will be from handouts or from reading scripture in the bible. You will also be assigned a project to help supplement your learning.
    • Logistics-Handwritten work will be accepted unless told otherwise. Please place your first and last name with the date in the top right hand corner of the paper. A notebook will be needed for this course and occasionally notebook checks will take place. 5 points will be taken off your participation grade each time you don’t have your notebook. Be Prepared!!
    • Personal Conduct-Respect is earned not just given. I am here to be your teacher, mentor and guide-not necessarily your friend. I will work beyond your expectations to create a biblically based atmosphere in order for you to learn more about yourself and what God has in store for your life. Together we can strengthen our relationships with Christ. The following guidelines outline the behavioral expectations that I have for each of you and delineate the consequences should you choose to display inappropriate behavior.
