Fall 2006 / Instructor: Philip Galiga (652-7569)

CURRENT ASSIGNEMENTS

Homework & Class Materials: Students should keep a notebook/binder to help organize handouts, work and material for this course. Students need to bring their notebook/binder with them to class each day. It is expected that students will take notes in class and to record their learning in their notebooks. These notes will be included as part of the assessment of student learning.

Attendance Expectations: Students are expected to arrive at class on time each day ready to work.

Classroom Behavior Expectations: Class participation is an important component of this course. Student sharing of learning is necessary to keep up with the complexity of industry software. Passive learners and students who do not actively take part in classroom discussions will not be successful. This course will contain both individual and group projects.

It is the policy of South Burlington High School to not allow food or drink in classrooms, outside of structured class events. This policy will be maintained in this class.

Components of Internal Assessment: Student grades and assessments will include a variety of small and large projects, quizzes, tests, project evaluation and critique participation. Students need to keep on task and meet incremental project deadlines in order to be successful. Students who actively engage and who develop interest and excitement in the material will be met with the greatest success.

Communication: Parents are always welcome to communicate with the instructor via voice or electronic mail: pgaliga@sbschools.net or 652-7569. Students should feel free to email me or contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas. Most of all……….have fun.
