The mission of the Charleston Charter School for Math and Science: is to educate students for success in college and careers by providing an innovative learning environment that is academically excellent, developmentally responsive, and socially equitable.
Course Description:
In this course, students use 3D solid modeling design software to help them design solutions to solve proposed problems. Students will learn how to document their work and communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional community. The major focus of the IED course is to expose students to the design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards and technical documentation. The course of study includes:
1 Marble Composition Notebook
Pencils and pens (blue or black ink only) must be brought to class daily
1 Scientific calculator- Math functions to include basic scientific, exponential and trig.
Uniform Grading Policy
A: 100-93 B: 92-85 C: 84-77 D: 76-70 F: 69 & below
Grading Procedures:
· Activities/Homework 20% Daily coursework/activities, essential questions
· Tests/Projects 40% Unit tests, portfolio, projects
· Quizzes/Notebook & Binder 35% Quizzes, warm up activities
· Professionalism 5% Start/end class appropriately, engaged, discussion participation and teamwork
1. Daily Activities/Homework will be graded on a 10 point scale based on completion. This is an opportunity to practice new concepts and obtain feedback on performance and comprehension.
2. Specifically developed rubrics will be utilized for the evaluation of projects and presentations.
End of Course Exam:
Students will take an end of course exam provided by Project Lead the Way. Students who earn a final course grade of 85 or above and earn a passing score of 6 or above on the end of course exam may be eligible for college credit (please see course website for additional information). Students will also be required to complete an instructor created exam. The exam will count as 20% of the student’s final course grade.
Extra Help: Extra help is available, by appointment, before school from 7:05- 7:50.
Attendance Policy: Students must be present in class in order to receive the instruction necessary to complete and understand the course. Please see the student handbook regarding school policy.
Tardy Policy: It is important that you arrive to class ready to work. Students should enter the classroom and have their supplies ready and begin working on the warm up activity at the time of the bell. Students who are not ready will be marked tardy. This will result in the loss of points from the daily professionalism grade. Students missing more than 50% of a class period will be counted absent. After a verbal warning, disciplinary action will be taken. Three tardies will result in an afternoon detention.
Make-Up Work Policy:
The student is responsible for discussing make up work with the teacher. Students may view the course daily agenda to monitor any work missed.
1. According to the student handbook, students have the number of days they were absent plus one until a grade of zero will be input for any missing work.
2. If a test/quiz is missed, the student must schedule a make-up time outside of class. This should be scheduled and made up within three days upon return.
Late Work Policy:
Activities and homework will not be accepted late as stipulated in the student handbook. Projects may be turned in up to three (3) subsequent school days late with a loss of ten (10) points each day.
Course Credit:
Please be aware that the student handbook states the following policy regarding course credit (This is based on the requirement of 120 hours for course credit):
1. 3 missed days – Front office notifies the parent by phone or email.
2. 5 or more days – Front office notifies the parent by phone or email and schedules a student/parent/teacher/advisor conference.
3. After 7 days, the parent must submit a written request to the principal that the absences be excused. If approval is given, the student/parent/teacher/advisor will develop a written plan for the student and parent to take responsibility for making up missed work. This responsibility will be beyond that of the teacher and may involve homebound instruction, tutoring, afternoon academy, etc. The student or parent will pay the cost of the make-up seat time.
Cheating/Plagiarism:
Copying other students’ work or passing off the work of others as your own will not be tolerated.
1st Offense: Zero on the assignment and letter home
2nd Offense: 3 days of OSS
3rd Offense: The student is placed up for expulsion.
Do not e-mail or share a copy of your work with another student. Even if you do not intend to cheat, if your classmate turns in your work as their own, you are providing unauthorized information to your classmate. If another class member needs information or the “format” for an assignment, please direct them to the teacher.
Technology:
Technology is a valuable tool used to increase and enrich student learning. The use of computers and classroom equipment are a privilege and inappropriate use of these tools could result in cancellation of this privilege. Students are expected to follow the CCSMS Acceptable Use Policy of Technology and the Internet.
Downloading games or other files to a CCSMS computer, without teacher permission, is prohibited. Students must obtain teacher permission prior to playing any approved computer games.
All students must sign and return the Career and Technology Education Department Student Computer Responsibilities form to be permitted to utilize class computers.
Class Expectations:
1. Be respectful- Conduct yourself in an orderly manner, cooperate with your group, pick up after yourself, leave other people's materials alone, do not interrupt other students' learning, treat school property and computers with care
2. Be responsible- Follow CCSMS Code of Conduct, arrive on time, come prepared, remain on task and focused, complete all assignments and work on time and to the best of your ability
3. Follow directions- Focus and listen carefully, follow classroom procedures
4. Do your best!
Class Rules:
1.Follow the CCSMS Code of Conduct at all times.
2. Arrive to class on time and ready to learn.
-When the bell rings, you need to be sitting in your assigned seat.
-You should immediately begin on the warm up activity or continue working on your project.
-Excessive tardies will affect your professionalism grade. Three or more tardies will result in disciplinary action.
3. Cell Phones should be turned off and invisible during the class period.
4. Follow Classroom Safety procedures and computer lab rules at all times.
5. Be respectful of all technology and classroom materials.
-Treat computers with care.
-Do not touch other students’ belongings or projects.
