Evaluation:
Students will be graded using a point system for determining grades. Each assignment, project, test, or homework assignment has a certain number of points possible. For example, a test or project may be worth 100 points, while a quiz or homework assignment may be worth 10 or 20 points. To determine the cumulative grade, the total points earned will be divided by the total points possible.

Make-Up Work:
It is the responsibility of the student to ask for make-up work after an absence. The student will have the same number of days to ask for and complete the make-up work as the length of the absence. If a student is absent for one day, he must ask for make-up work the next day, and it must be turned it by the next day. Students must look in the yellow make-up folder for any missed work when they return to class.
Late Work:
Late work will be accepted only one day late and points will be deducted for late work.
Behavior Expectations:
- Students should get to class on time. We will have deadlines to meet, so being on time is very important.
- Students must come with appropriate supplies (pencil, paper, flash drive).
- Students must respect others at all times. We will share differing opinions in this class, so we must be respectful of one another.
- Students are expected to behave in a mature manner when they are conducting interviews or when we have guest speakers.
- Students are responsible for saving all material to a flash drive which will remain in the classroom.
- Students must behave in a mature manner while in the radio studio.
- Attendance on Fridays is mandatory since we will be live on the radio on many Fridays.
