LAB 508 - Web site:

Welcome to
Computer Lab 508! To make your time here most productive;
you should familiarize yourself with the requirements of this course. Knowledge of the requirements will
reduce the chance of a misunderstanding that will affect your grade. All of the
following items can affect your passing or failing the
course.
GRADES All projects assigned
during the term count toward your final grade. Tests may be written or oral. They may also consist of observation in
class of how you perform specific tasks on the computer. Prior absence is no excuse. Get the telephone number of a
classmate to keep up-to-date when you are absent. You must make up class notes and
homework when you are absent!
CLASSWORK Being
in class every day is not class work.
Actively participating in the lesson is class work. Follow all the rules of the lab,
including Internet safety, proper computer use, silent working conditions, and
strictly using your specifically assigned computer station. Take part in
class discussions and answer questions.
Raise your hand often and be ready when called upon. Always answer in complete
sentences. Copy all notes
neatly and be prepared to have them periodically evaluated for
completeness. Computers are
expensive. Mistreatment of the computers will result in
you being prohibited from using them.
HOMEWORK Assignments and projects MUST be
handed in on time! They must be neat, complete and legible. Late homework
assignments will be penalized. You are responsible for all assignments even if
you are not in school. Get the
telephone number of a classmate to keep you up-to-date if you are out. You should make sure that you have
access to a computer after school hours, to do homework and research as
needed. (The Brooklyn Public
Library has computers that a free to use!)
REMEMBER: Homework
counts!
NOTEBOOK
and PEN You are required to keep an
up-to-date 8 1/2 x 11 inch loose-leaf notebook. It must have a separate section for
Computer. Included in this section
will be class notes, tests, homework, and a vocabulary list of computer
terms and their definitions, which YOU will compile from your notes. Do not leave these items home unless you
are told to do so; there will be surprise notebook checks. If you are absent, you must have the
missing class notes within 3 days of your return to school. You may NOT copy missing notes in class.
That would distract you from paying attention to the lesson in progress. YOU
MUST save your complete computer notebook section until you have received your
final grade.
1 8 ˝” X 11” (3 hole punched) LINED NOTE
PAD
You can use this pad to
provide support in class when writing your notes. Then periodically put the papers in your
notebook section as described below.
1 FOLDER Since the
computer lab is small, there is not enough room to use
a loose-leaf notebook. Therefore, you must have apocket folder exclusively for Computer Lab. When the folder gets torn, you are
expected to get a new one.

Clearly
label the cover with your name, homeroom and Lab Work
You are solely responsible for maintaining it. When
the folder gets torn, you must replace it. 1. Lab Folder |

YOU
MUST:
1.
Save your
complete Computer Lab Notebook section and folder until you have received your
final grade in June.
2.
Bring
your folder, diskette and two pens to Computer Lab EVERY day.
ATTENDANCE Attendance
will be taken every day. You must
get my approval BEFORE seeing any other teacher during your Computer Lab period,
even if they have sent you a pass.
Passes presented afterward will not be accepted and you will be marked
cutting. Cutting will result in a
lowered grade or failure.
LATENESS
Attendance will be taken every day.
You are expected to be in your assigned seat, silent and attentive, with
your folder opened, and pen in hand when class starts. Being anywhere else in the room
constitutes lateness. Chronic lateness will result in a lowered grade or
failure. If you are late to the Computer Lab because you were dismissed late
from a prior class, speak with that teacher. If a teacher detained you, you are
expected to have a written pass when you come to this
class.
PASSES
Do not ask for a pass until ten minutes into the period or within ten
minutes of the end of the period.
The pass is for the lavatory ONLY. Any other use without the teacher's
prior approval will be considered cutting.
You must neatly sign and time mark the
“Out Of Room” sheet before and after you return to the Computer
Lab.
REMEMBER
YOU are the one that is responsible for the grade YOU get, not your
parents, teachers, or friends. What
YOU get out of the course is a direct result of what YOU put into
it.
OPEN
ACCESS If you use the
lab during open Access, you must follow ALL lab rules, or you will be banned
from using the lab. No
exceptions. See the Lab Rules
posted in the lab. Computers are expensive. Mistreatment of the computers will
result in you being prohibited from using them.
