Expectations:

·         This is an advanced level course and all of you come to this 

    class with different  skills, backgrounds, knowledge and 

    experiences.  I expect behavior that is  appropriate for students 

    in an advanced level course.  Some examples of these appropriate 

    behaviors include, but are not limited to, are:  

·         The ability to work quietly and independently-you must be able to 
problem solve and create on your own.  

·         The ability to work collaboratively.  

·         The ability to follow classroom rules regarding the proper use of 
the Internet, email, chat rooms, downloading of software, music, 
programs, games and images.  

·          I do not want to restrict a student from the Internet or to write 
 referrals for inappropriate behaviors or tardiness--the WTHS tardy 
 policy will be enforced.

·          I have high expectations for you and expect your best work.  If 
 you did not receive a letter grade of "C" or higher in Business
 Computer Applications OR if you do not meet the prerequisites, 
 please see me at the end of class today!  

·         ALL DATES ON THE WEBSITE ARE TARGETS OR BENCHMARKS 
AND MAY/WILL BE   CHANGED.   IF YOU FINISH BEFORE A 
GIVEN DATE, YOU ARE TO CONTINUE WORKING ON    THE 
NEXT SET OF ASSIGNMENTS!
