4. If you are detained by another teacher/adult, PLEASE BRING A NOTE FROM THE ADULT/MAIN OFFICE. 5. If you have to use the bathroom facilities, please come to the class FIRST and receive permission from Mr. Bauer. Permission is usually granted unless this becomes a pattern of behavior that becomes abusive. 6. To ensure the right of education for all students, please refrain from talking out in class. Statements and/or questions will be addressed by Mr. Bauer after the student has raised his hand. NOTE: Most rules are derived from common sense and courtesy. Please use your good judgment in all matters. LAPTOP POLICIES: Archbishop Moeller's laptop users policies will be in effect at all times. Discipline actions will be taken for abuse or misuse that could include taking away the privilege of using the computer in class or for a period of time. The Dean of Students will handle serious abuse. 1. Laptops are reserved for educational use. Laptops are a tool in instruction and are a means to an end. a. No games, movies, screensavers, or backgrounds (other than those already installed or approved) may be installed on your tablet. Although an argument may be made for eye-hand coordination practice, please refrain from game usage during class unless given specific permission by Mr. Bauer which will probably not happen. 2. Keep your hands off other students' computers and equipment. a. Do not "borrow" equipment. Do not tamper with or shut down another's computer for "fun". 3. Note-taking and Microsoft’s OneNote. a. In order for new information to enter long-term memory, studies indicate material must make sense and have meaning. Repetition, recall, and reinforcement all enable this information to enter long-term memory. As such, please uses Microsoft’s OneNote and re-organize your notes immediately after class. This will allow you time to re-arrange and "clean-up" your notes and use repetition, recall and reinforcement at the same time. 4. Stay on task. No multi-tasking with ear buds or headphones. a. Studies have proven that mullti-tasking is impossible. The brain is only designed to focus on one task at a time. So, you are not actually multi-tasking, but switching from task to task which causes each task to deteriorate quickly. 5. No text-messaging, social-networking, etc. Thank you. 6. Written assessment requirements for electronic turn-in. a. On the top of the paper, enter your full name and class section. b. Font size and type: 12 using Times New Roman (Please no "script". It is difficult to read. They don't print newspapers in script. Think about it.) c. Margins: One inch for sides, top, and bottom. I base my assessments on content NOT volume. 7. Batteries must be fully charged each day. There are a limited number of electric plugs in my classroom. Be prepared with a paper notebook if your batteries run out of power. This is your responsibility. 8. If your laptop is in need of repair, take it to the Help Center. Do not ask to leave class to take care of a problem. Please do this before or after school or during your lunch period. This is your responsibility. Academic Violations / Step Policy reference: Cheating on any assessments will be dealt with on a situational basis and is conditional. Although I encourage collaboration, the students involved must be able to explain their discussion. If both can satisfactorily explain, this is collaboration; if one student can, but the other student cannot, then this is one student enabling another and is probably cheating. I think you know the difference. The minimum penalty of a zero will be recorded for that student(s) for that assessment or paper. All violations will adhere to Archbishop Moeller High School’s adopted step policy (please refer to the student handbook). Grading policies: 1. The student should expect some type of assessment each class. Tests, quizzes or other types of assessments will be administered periodically covering from one to two concepts and/or other assigned or covered material. 2. Unless otherwise announced, all assessments will carry a point value equivalent to the assessment’s importance. For example, tests will have more importance than homework or quizzes and as such carry a larger point value. 3. Assessments are announced well in advance by Mr. Bauer and posted on NetMoeller. There will never be "pop" graded assessments.
