There is no specific percentage for each category.  You can find out your grade at any time, just take your total points, divide it by the total possible points, and this equals your grade.

Citizenship:  Please see attached Citizenship Rubric.

 

 

Late Assignments/Make Up Work Policy:  Assignments and projects are to be turned in on time. Students are responsible for asking the instructor for missed assignments upon the first day of return from absence.  Students have one week after their absence to complete missed assignments. 

 

Homework Policy: Any assignment that is not finished during class will be considered homework assignment.  Students may sign out a textbook to complete the homework, and must return the textbook immediately on the next class.

 

Tests will be given after each chapter.  All questions on the tests are directly from the lectures/discussion in class, so taking notes during class is very important!  Final Exams/Projects are given at the end of each quarter.

 

Notebook:  A 3-prong folder with pockets is required as a notebook for Marketing class only.  Daily notes, assignments, worksheets, and tests should be kept in this notebook.  Quarterly notebook checks will be performed.

 

Service Learning: Service learning is an integral part of this program.  Students will be able to practice skills learned in class while performing service for non-profit organizations.  There will be one service learning project offered per quarter.  Projects tentatively scheduled are:  1st Quarter:  Promoting DECA Membership; 2nd Quarter:  Practicing Communication Skills through a Coin Drive for Salvation Army; 3rd Quarter:  Selling Valentine Grams for the Student Store; and 4th Quarter:  Promoting the GCC Marketing Program during the Sharks Day at the Mall.

 

Extra credit will be given throughout the semester.  It will be given equally, not individually.  Thus, be sure to check your grade performance with the instructor periodically, not during the last two weeks of the quarter when it may be too late to bring up your grade!  Extra credit points may not exceed 10% of total points for each quarter.  For example, if the total points possible for the quarter is 3000 points, then the total possible extra credit points will be 300 points.

 

Required Materials:  Black or blue pen, two 3-prong folders with pockets (1 for each semester), and filler paper.  These materials are all available at the GCC/SSHS Marketing Student Store.

 

*Attendance:  School attendance policy will be strictly adhered to.  Please remember that after 6 unexcused absences per semester, you will receive NC (No Credit) for the class.  Only admit slips obtained from homeroom teachers will be accepted for absences!  Please refer to the Attendance Policy on the Student Handbook.

 

Discipline Intervention:  Students are expected to follow school and class rules.  Discipline Procedures as outlined in the Student Handbook will be followed.

 

Field Trip Policy:  Field trips enhance learning and are part of the instructional program.  Fieldtrip forms must be signed by all teachers and parents at least three days prior to the fieldtrip date.  If a student does not attend a field trip, an alternate assignment will be given.  Please see the field trip policy in the Student Handbook.

 

Emergency Procedure:

In case of emergency, please exit the room quietly, and follow instructor to the designated evacuation area.  Leave belongings in the classroom unless otherwise instructed. Attendance will be taken. Please refer to the Emergency Response Procedure in the Student Handbook.
