Project Requirements:

Project approval must be granted by me before beginning. If the following requirements are not met, the student automatically FAILS the marking period.

During the course of EACH marking period a student must complete....

1. 3 small projects or

2. 2 medium projects or

3. 1 large project

Examples:

 Small project- deer plaque, baseball bat

 Medium project- Bowl, small wall shelf, box

 Large project- Night stand, bench, gun cabinet

Attendance and punctuality:

Attending class and arriving on time is very important.You are expected to be in the classroom and ready to listen when the bell rings. More information concerning absences and tardies can be found in the student handbook.

Missing/Late Assignments:

It is YOUR responsibility to get the assignments you may have missed while absent. I will do my best to help you, but it is up to you to ask me or your peers what you missed. For every day the assignment is late, you will lose 10 percent off the final grade. Late assignments will be accepted up to 3 days after the due date. If you were absent, it will be based on the day you return to class.
