Welcome to Communications!!!
2015-2016
Mrs. Crawford
THE RULE: Respect yourself and others. We are going to be an interdependent
learning community, and as such we cannot function if people are rude or
disrespectful to one another. You will work with everyone in the class at some
point during the school year. I expect that you treat one another with respect and
courtesy.
***Any student who insults, curses at, or threatens another student will
immediately be removed from the classroom and referred to the Dean***

Much of your work in this class will be
participation-based. As such, you
need to come to class prepared to
participate in class. You will receive a
daily grade for participation. The grades will be added together to form a weekly
grade. Your grades can be as follows:
100 – full participation
75 – partial participation or needs to be talked into participating
50 – refuses to participate or is rude to those performing
Retake Policy: There are not going to be summative assessments such
as tests/quizzes in communications. Your summative assessments will
be performances, and/or projects that you are collaborating on in class.
As such, there should be no need for retakes.
Absences: When you are absent from class, you cannot participate.
This is extremely critical especially when we are working on group
projects. Since a big part of your grade depends on participation, it will
also affect your grade. FOR EACH SUBSEQUENT ABSENCE AFTER YOUR
THIRD PER QUARTER, YOU WILL RECEIVE A 50 THAT DAY FOR YOUR
DAILY PARTICIPATION GRADE. Obviously, if there are extenuating
circumstances, we will work around them. Please let Mrs. Crawford
know if there are.
Dress and Water: We will be active in this class. Make sure you are
dressed appropriately to participate each day. Also, bringing a water
bottle is recommended. Obviously, I cannot have an entire class go to
the water fountains numerous times during the class period. I do have
sinks in my room, so you can fill your water bottles then.
