Absences will result in students falling behind in daily work. Each student will have the opportunity through attendance and class participation to earn up to 20 class participation points per week. Poor attendance, disruptions in class, not participating in class discussions, and behavioral problems can lower this grade and will affect your overall score for this course. Make Up Work / Late Work If you are absent please bring your admit slip to Mr. Bartz before class starts on the day you return to school. The policy for make up work will follow the school guidelines detailed in the student handbook unless otherwise stated by the teacher (ex. Projects taking more than a week to complete). It is the responsibility of the student to check for any missing assignments when they return to school. Class time will rarely be given to students who need to make up missing assignments. Students should plan on making up those assignments before / after school, during lunch, or during their study hall. Late work will not be accepted. Hall Passes Each student will be given 3 hall passes per nine weeks to use to go to their lockers, the restroom, drinking fountain, etc. Bonus points will be awarded for unused passes at the end of the nine weeks. Saving / Turning in Assignments All work should be saved on the students Z:/ drive in the appropriate Accounting class folder. The computers in the lab are periodically “cleaned out” to optimize performance and could result

in the deletion of improperly saved files. Most assignments will be turned in electronically through the P:/ drive or recorded in your Accounting Journal. **********This syllabus may be updated/revised by the teacher at any time ********** Tentative Course Schedule Week 1
