Daily
At the beginning of every period, you will record the agenda and objectives into your agenda or binder so that you document activities, assignments and due dates.
![Page 11: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assignments
Are often started in class and expected to be finished at home.
Turn in all assignments at the beginning of class unless other instructions have been given.
NAME, DATE, PERIOD Remember: The person who does the work is
the one who learns. Copying is considered academic dishonesty.
![Page 12: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Late work is not given full credit. The HIGHEST you may earn on late work is a 70%.
There are hard grade deadlines every three weeks that must be adhered.
Work turned in for credit after these deadlines have passed will be awarded a 50% maximum.
![Page 13: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You will be expected to sit at your assigned seat and follow all instructions. Safety is our first priority.
During class time students MUST follow all class rules to ensure the safety of all students.
There can be absolutely NO horseplay during class time.
PISD Laboratory Safety Rules will be strictly enforced at all times. You will be given a copy of these rules and MUST pass a Safety test.
![Page 14: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Assessments will be given at the end of each topic. Make up exams or corrections must be scheduled with your teacher.
If you miss an assignment or an EXAM they will be marked with “M” or ZERO “0 %” until it is made up.
Remember.. There are some hard deadlines that must be adhered to such as 3-week cycles.
![Page 15: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Grading: 80% - Major Assessments 50% May include: Bundle Tests, Long term projects, Lab
write-ups, etc Minor Assessments 30% May include: Quests (short test), Notebook
evaluations, Short term projects, etc
20% Daily Grades May include: Quix (quick quizzes), Notebook checks,

Semester Grades
Two cycle grades (averaged) = 90% of semester grade.
Exams (midterm & final) = 10% of semester grade
Both semesters need to average to at least a 70% to receive credit
![Page 17: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Student Progress
Parents/guardians will receive a grade update every 3 weeks.
It is REQUIRED that every student have on-line access to monitor their grades.
![Page 18: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Class Guidelines & Expectations: Be in your ASSIGNED seat and prepared with class materials when
the instruction bell rings. No Backpacks, Book bags or Purse bags at your tables…put them
on the side and back counters unless I instruct you otherwise. Sit in assigned seat facing forward during instruction unless I give
you instructions otherwise. NO FOOD …NO open sodas, lollipops/suckers or seeds are
allowed. NO selling of fund-raisers without permission first...otherwise you
will forfeit your goods and have to pick them up from your Principal.
Follow HHS policies of personal electronic devices such as phones, cameras, mp3 players.
Follow all instructions given and stay on assigned task. Do every assignment fully and turn it in on time.
![Page 19: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS IN BIOLOGY
Do every assignment. Most frequently the people that do poorly in this class do so
because they are not doing their homework and assignments. Likewise, those that do every assignment usually do very well in the class.
Carry a good attitude. Tenacity and perseverance will most of the time take you
further than someone with a high IQ and a sour disposition. Participation, cooperativeness, attitude, responsibility, work habits, promptness, dependability, and enthusiasm can affect your grade.
Come in for help if you genuinely do not understand a subject or topic, I'll be glad
to help you as much as possible.

Class Website
http://hawknationbiology.weebly.com/
The class website is a great resource for you to use. You can find anything from the course syllabus to PowerPoint/notes we have taken in class.
![Page 21: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Binders: Each student MUST have a 3-ring binder. All paper work pertaining to this class is to be KEPT
in this binder in chronological order. It is highly suggested that you have only 1 binder for
all subjects to avoid A & B-day confusion. The objective is to get you to keep your work for further
reference. Term exams are comprehensive, and you will need your notebook material to study for these. In addition, the notebook assignments may be scored periodically.
![Page 22: Welcome to Biology. AGENDA for the week Introduction & procedures Personal Interview Project (begin now and return for homework) First day packets (3.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070413/5697bfd71a28abf838cae831/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
