Please add your ideas for our common syllabus.


 * Course Description:** Tutorology is a class designed to teach students strategies and skills which will support them in their academic classes.


 * Course Requirements:** Students

All work is based on a point system. Points are then converted into percentages and a letter grade is assigned. These points are divided into categories, which have a varying weight on the class grade. The categories for Tutorology are:
 * Grading:**

Collaboration = 30% Organization = 20% Participation = 20% Academic = 30% Total = 100%

A = 90-100% ~ B = 80-89% ~ C = 70-79% ~ D = 60-69% ~ F= 59% and less


 * Plagiarism/ Cheating**: Plagiarism is illegal and immoral. If you copy someone’s work or ideas and give the impression they are your own or neglect to give proper credit to the true author, you will receive a zero for that assignment and possibly a failing grade for the entire quarter and/or term. The same applies if you are the one being copied from. Also, the office will be alerted of this offense so that it can go on your permanent record.

RULES/EXPECTATIONS
 * Expectations**
 * **Respect** the people, equipment, and furnishings in the classroom. Show respect with your words, actions, and attitude. Prove to others that you deserve respect. Encourage your peers. Be considerate. We are all doing the best that we can. The rest of the rules are just expansions on this first rule.
 * Have all appropriate materials and supplies with you every day.
 * Be seated and quiet, ready to learn, when the bell rings. Check for an opening activity and begin working.
