-I expect that some students will easily complete the assignments.

-I expect some students will struggle (for whatever reasons) to complete assignments.

-I expect that you should ask a question if you need help with an assignment

-I expect that some of you have personal situations which make life much more difficult.

-I expect you will complete a fair amount of work if you expect to earn at least a C in the class.

-I expect you will complete most of the work if you expect to earn a B in the class

-I expect you will complete ALL of the work in the class if you expect to earn an A in the class.

-I expect some of you or many of you, have some reservations or concerns about being ‘back in a classroom.’

-I expect that many of you, do not like “science” class (and I completely understand)

-I expect many of you wish you were somewhere else (and I completely understand)

EXPECTATIONS (ASSIGNMENTS)

• I expect you will turn in ALL of the work if you want an "A" in the class

• I expect you will turn in MOST of the work if you want an "B" in the class

• I expect you will turn in a "fair amount" of the work if you want an "C" in the class

• I expect that if you turn in "NO-WORK" or "VERY-LITTLE WORK" you know you will get an "F" or maybe a "D."

• I expect that many students will wait until the last moment to turn in work, so I will have several "due-dates" over the quarter.

• I expect that some students will "copy & paste" my answers and turn them in. You should expect to NOT receive full-credit, but you will still get more points then if you don't complete the work.

GOOD IDEAS/ADVICE

• If you are experiencing personal difficulties, I ask that you privately talk with me or another staff member, to inform us...because we can only help you if we KNOW.

• We do not want to get up in your "business." We can only assist you when you communicate with us.

• Understand that in the "online" world, what you say, post, record, write, can be recorded and used against you at some time in the future. So, BE CAREFUL.

• You need to plan that the world will return to "normal." This means that you should spend the necessary time to turn in work, to pass the class, to graduate.

• YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA will ALMOST ALWAYS be needed to earn a better living, to have more choices, to build a better life for you and your family.

BEST ADVICE

• What is my business, is my business.

• What is your business, is your business.

• Do NOT make your business, my business.

• I will NOT make my business, your business.​

• ​Oh...and the words "please", "thank-you", and "sorry" will only help you in the world.
