Course Objectives and Student ExpectationsThis course is designed to build on the student’s previous knowledge of computer software,

filing, grammar, ten-key calculating and other common responsibilities in the work force office.

Materials Needed:

Pen/Pencil every day!

Printer paper and folders will be supplied.

Textbooks: The Gregg Reference Manual

Calculator Applications for Business

Gregg Quick Filing Practice Packet

Grading:

Your grade will be based on the following:

Daily Work/Assignments = 60%

Common Assessments (4 Major Exams) = 30%

Semester Final (Comprehensive) = 10%The final grade will be determined on the following scale:

100 – 95% = A 76 – 73% = C

94 – 90% = A- 72 – 70% = C-

89 – 87% = B+ 69 – 67% = D+

86 – 83% = B 66 – 63% = D

82 – 80% = B- 62 – 60% = D-

79 – 77% = C+ less than 60% = F

Make Up Work:

If you are absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to find out what work has been

missed. You have (1) one week to make up missing assignments and tests, and you may utilize

extra lab hours to make up this work. Assignments and tests not made up within the specified

one-week period will be accepted for half credit.

Student Behavior:

No food or drink is allowed in the classroom.

Students will receive an F grade for the course if the following occurs:

Participation PolicyStudents should be in class every day. One of the most significant factors affecting school

success is regular attendance. Doing make-up work, getting notes from a friend, or reading

from a book can never compensate for the class experience where the teacher explains the

material and the class has the opportunity for guided interaction with the concept being studied.

Absenteeism also places an additional burden on teachers and other students. This involves re-

teaching, preparing make-up materials, and being available for make-up work and tests—all of which subtract from the teacher-s time to develop other lesson materials or to deal with normal

class preparation. In effect, absenteeism negatively affects all students, not just those truant.

Class Participation Includes:

Being to class on time.

Daily attendance.

Involvement in discussion and group work.

Being on task with the assigned work and completing assignments on time.

Listening.

Exhibiting good class behaviors, including but not limited to Internet, e-mail, and games

only when approved by your teacher.

Participation Point Guidelines:

Participation will be as follows:

Students will be in class on time and follow the above seven items. If a student is behaving

inappropriately or is not on task, discipline measures will be taken.

School-excused absences: the student is responsible to get the assigned work before they

leave. The class work missed due to these absences will have to be made up by the student

within five days.

Excused absences: the teacher will allow the student to make-up the work missed within the

one week period. Unexcused absences: the student will not be allowed to make up the work missed.

A student is tardy if he/she is not in the room when the bell rings. The student will

automatically serve detention on the third tardy and every one thereafter.

Excessive tardiness or absenteeism will result in a referral to the administration.

Classroom Rules

No cell phones! Turn them off or don’t bring them at all. If it is seen in class, I will take

it and you can pick it up at the office at the end of the day.

Dress code will be enforced daily. You will be asked to change and your parents will be

contacted! Check your planner (page 15) for the rules and regulations on student dress.

Lab hours are at 8:00 each morning, during homeroom and/or by special arrangement

with me. My lab is not available at lunch or after school unless you have talked to me!

No music/headphones allowed in class without teacher permission. Again I will

confiscate it and you don’t get it back until the end of the day.

No food or drink is allowed in the classroom. You will lose your points for that day and

serve detention if it is seen or if wrappers are left at your station.

Any equipment broken/damaged within the classroom will be the student’s responsibility

to replace/pay for.

If you are absent, check your folder the day you get back for an “Absent Paper” which

explains what you missed and need to make up.

Hall Pass is the volleyball on the back shelf. You must take it with you if I excuse you

from class for something. You will not be allowed to leave class every day and you will

not be excused with your cell phone.

Students will receive an F grade for the course if the following occurs:

o deliberately alter files in the network or program software

o illegally copy software or another student’s work
