Grading
In Engineering and Technology class, your grade will be determined by several factors. The main concern being that you have a successful learning experience. The following percentage system has been designed to provide a fair and accurate account of your progress. Below is a listing of the percentages and a grading scale for your information.

Projects are worth 50% of your grade - Due to the nature of this class, a large portion of the student's grade will be directly tied to the completion of in class projects. Project-based learning is a large part of Engineering and Technology.
Quizzes and Tests are worth 20% of your grade - Students will be required to take periodic quizzes and tests to assess their understanding of the Engineering & Technology curriculum. Students are to study accordingly for assessments. |
Policy on Late Work
Students will receive an 11 point deduction on projects, quizzes, or tests that are submitted late. Additionally, a late submission will be counted if one or more partner(s) forgets to appropriately name their project or project file.

Classroom Expectations & Procedures
Students are expected to "Keep It R.E.A.L.":
Responsible – meaning we will use the classroom materials appropriately, bring our materials to class, and turn our work in on time. What we are learning in class is important and will be beneficial to you in the future, and I expect you to take class seriously.
Excellent in every way – meaning students will try our best to exceed all expectations. We will push ourselves to be better at everything we try. We are capable of accomplishing whatever we set our mind to; we just have to believe in ourselves. You need to believe in yourself and know that if you put in the needed effort you will be successful, not only in class, but in life.
Attitude – meaning we will have a positive, can-do attitude. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. If we have a positive attitude we will be more confident, and will be able to accomplish more in class.
Successful Learners – meaning we will come to class ready with our materials to learn the skills required. Students are expected to bring paper and pencil daily to class.
