MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS
• Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going.
• My goal is for everyone to be successful and have fun
• With that in mind, here are some things you need to know
![Page 2: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Things you need to do (your responsibilities)
• Know what to do
• Do it the best you can
• Learn from mistakes rather than make excuses
• If there’s a problem, propose a solution

Things I will do (my responsibilities)
• Let you know what to do• Expect you to do it• Hold you responsible• Be available for help• Listen• Provide the environment• Be consistent/fair to all
![Page 4: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
My Philosophy
• Help you become more independent
• Learning how to learn just as important for life-long learning as science content
• 2 posters…
• “Never do for a (child) what they can do for themselves”
![Page 5: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Materials• Text book: take it home, bring it back in June• Binder: 3 ring binder with pockets, paper, and dividers
(10)• Composition notebook for daily writing (graded
quarterly…50 + points)• Planner: checked every Monday weeks’ assignments
from SchoolPointe• Also: calculator with scientific notation, pens/pencils,
goggles (I supply)

Homework• Posted on Schoolpointe Friday for
upcoming week, must copy into planner by Monday
• Assigned about three times per week
• Accepted 1 day late for ½ credit
• Due at beginning of class.
![Page 7: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Absences• 1 day for every day absent
• It’s in your planner (copied from SchoolPointe), so you know what you missed.
• Also written on board and announced in class
• Papers in blue bin.

Cheating• Copying anything anytime for this
class or any other• INCLUDES COPYING FROM A
PARTNER (only data is OK)• See school rules; taking credit for any
work that is not your own, original work
![Page 9: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What about…• Group work?
– Directly copying an answer from someone else’s paper is cheating
– Showing where an answer is in book is OK
• Talking about bookquizzes/tests?– Telling someone what is on it is cheating.
– Giving your opinion is not.
![Page 10: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Tests: 70% of gradeTend to be between 50 and 100 points• Retakes if:
– Within 2 weeks of getting test back– Complete compass learning topics– Take notes
• If passed, and Compass tests are better, improve up to 5%
• 75% maximum if not passed, still have to do a retest
![Page 11: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Other stuff” 30% of grade
• Bookquizzes: on reading everytime, use notes if take them (20 – 40 points,
double the number of questions) Sometimes no quiz, just notecheck. No retakes.
• Labs, worksheets, etc.
![Page 12: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Other stuff” 0% of grade
• Pretests/posttest: – Beginning/end of unit to measure growth
• Self Assessments:– Formatives along the way in a unit
• Both are graded and recorded, but not part of final grade…0 weight
• Both help you (and me) keep track of your progress, and see when you need to come in for help
![Page 13: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Extra Credit• Maximum of 30 points each quarter.• Due at least 1 week before the end of
the quarter. • Tell me what you want to do, I don’t
have little papers/projects for you• Should relate to class and extend your
knowledge• CPE Cents, sticker cards, bathroom
passes
![Page 14: MR. PICHOLA’S CPE SCIENCE CLASS Welcome! Hopefully you had a great summer and are ready to get going. My goal is for everyone to be successful and have.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032707/56649e1b5503460f94b08f73/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Grading scale• Tests are 70% final grade, other stuff 30%
– A = 100 - 89.5 B = 89.4 - 79.5
– C = 79.4 - 69.5 D = 69.4 - 59.5
– F = 59.4 – 0
• I don’t constantly update grades...keep track yourself (I’ll show you how) and check that when I update about every 2 weeks.
