Grading Policy: Computer Systems Technology is a hands-on, project-based class. It is
not a normal, take notes, study, and take a test, type of class. Grades will be assigned
based on participation in activities, initiative taken, work orders and projects completed.
Attendance Policy: Regular attendance is imperative. There is no textbook for this class
so making up work is difficult. If you miss a class, you have missed the content of the
class and will quickly fall behind with very little chance to make up the material.
Homework assignments and/or tests may be made up as is indicated by the BCHS
Handbook.

Be ready to listen and possibly take a note or two.
Take initiative in your own learning.
Respect everyone . . . including yourself.
Plagiarism/Academic Dishonesty Policy:
Plagiarism and academic dishonest are serious offenses. The academic work of a
student is expected to be his/her own effort. Students must give the author(s) credit for
any source material used. To represent ideas or interpretations taken from a source
without giving credit is a flagrant act. To present a borrowed passage after having
changed a few words, even if the source is cited, is also plagiarism. Students who
commit any act of academic dishonesty will receive a failing grade in that portion of the
course work. Acts of academic dishonesty will be reported to the administration.
