However, Mr. Shaw can and will assign individual students to sit in a specific seat. Mr. Shaw may also put the entire class in a seating chart.You must be in the room before the bell rings or else you are tardy and will spend the remainder of class in ISD. If you are late, you may be allowed in class but will be assigned break detention.Enter the classroom quietly. Once you are in the classroom you will sit down in your seat and quietly answer the bellringer. Pencils will be sharpened before class begins or after I have made your assignment. Group work will be assigned on a random basis. Group size and members will vary depending on the activity. I will assign students to a group.Cheating:ACADEMIC DISHONESTY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! Zeros will be given on all work to all parties involved if cheating has occurred.Make-up work: Students will have three days to complete any make-up work. After three days a grade of zero will be assigned. It is your responsibility to ask your teacher for your work as well as to schedule a time to take missed quizzes and tests.The teacher will dismiss the class, not the bell. Class will not be dismissed until everyone is quiet, desks are in order, and the area around your desk is clean. I will not write you a pass to your next class if you are late.Grading SystemIf you are absent and miss notes or other assignments, it is your responsibility to make sure you have the material you miss.Grading policy:A. Tests & Projects 50%B. Quizzes 30%C. Labs, group/class work, notebook 20% TOTAL 100%Technology and BYODStudents who own an electronic communication device (ECD) are encouraged to bring them to class. However, ECDs are not always conducive to student learning. Therefore, all devices should be turned off and stored according to the Calhoun County Student Handbook. Permission must be given to every student on a daily basis in order to use his/her ECD. Failure to ask permission to use an ECD is a rule violation and the appropriate disciplinary action will occur.I highly encourage all students to read the following sections of the Calhoun County Student Handbook:Pages 23 – 27 (Student Acceptable Use Policy)Page 27 (Cell Phone Policy)Page 30 – 34 (Rule Violations and Consequences)Page 33 (Dress Code)Classroom Requirements – Bring every day to class.Pencil (Work completed using a pen will not be accepted.)TextbookNotebook & notebook paperScientific calculatorNote cards (3x5)Graph paper – OPTIONAL but may be handy to have.E-mail: jshaw.wp@calhoun.k12.al.usCourse Description: Physics is a branch of science that deals with energy and matter and how they are related.
