Physics+Class+Rules


 * Class Policies: **
 * //Talking: //**there will be times during class when you will be encouraged to talk to each other for a class activity. There will be other times when there will be no talking, because you all need to be able to listen and focus, for example when you are taking notes or watching a video. If I am speaking to the class, you should be listening and not talking. If you are talking when you are not supposed to I will give you a warning the first time. The second time in that class period you will get a detention.
 * //Homework //**: You are required to do all of the homework. If you do not turn in the homework for ANY reason, I will email your parents that day to let them know. You have 3 days to turn in the homework or else you will get a zero for that assignment.
 * //Supplies //**: You must bring the following supplies to class every single day: Physics textbook, pen or pencil, notebook. If you come to class without your supplies you will receive a detention. The text is heavy and awkward, I know. You are responsible for the book, but if you want to leave it in the classroom when there is no reading or homework from the book, you may. Make sure your name is in the book, and leave it in one of the drawers. However, you are responsible if it gets taken or lost.
 * //Tardies //**: You must be in your desk with all supplies when the bell rings for class to start. If not you will be considered __tardy__. The first time you will receive a warning. The second time you will receive a detention.

In general, this means that you should:
 * 1) Show courtesy and respect at all times
 * 2) One person speaking at a time
 * 3) NO fooling around in lab - that means no grabbing things, no putting things down where they can do damage, listening carefully to instructions, NEVER going into the closet without express permission and ONLY getting that for which you are going into the the closet.
 * 4) Damaged/Missing Equipment or text = $. You break or lose it, you buy it.
 * 5) Leave gas jets alone!
 * 6) Late work policy: 1 day = 50%, 2 days = 25%, >2 days = 0%
 * 7) Absences: you are still responsible for the work we are doing unless you clear it with me first. Normally, you will find out from your colleagues what you are missing and do it while at home. If too ill to contact me, I want doctor's notes that you were unable to email or call me.
 * 8) Missed labs and projects: make ups are generally not available, but you **//are//** responsible for material.
 * 9) Don’t lose handouts → # copies made = # students. You are responsible for recopying any material you lose.
 * 10) Recycle vs. Trash. Be careful where you are throwing things. We have two containers. Recycle when possible!
 * 11) Cover Text, name inside! Do NOT forget to put your name in it. If it's lost, and we find a copy but it doesn't have your name, it's not yours.
 * 12) Suggest improvement = bonus!
 * 13) Understand your agreement to honor the Honor Code.
 * 14) When you write, write neatly and concisely -- not expressively! This is not a creative writing class!
 * 15) Get and use a notebook. Take good notes! I will show you the structure we will be using.
