Course Information
Course Description
Technology is everywhere and there is a huge push for students to go into STEM careers. This course is designed to help
students explore application of technology through robotics. Students will learn about design, programming, build,
planning and execution, web hosting, multimedia, and more. This course is co-curricular with the FIRST Robotics club.
Students who are part of the class are also a part of the club and will be asked to participate in FIRST activities. This
course is aligned with the ISTE Standards for Students through the Michigan Technology Plan.

Class Expectations
As a student in computer science you are expected every day prepared and ready to learn. There are several criterion
for fulfilling those expectations. You are always expected to:
 Follow policies outlined in the Student Handbook.
 Follow the Computer Lab Expectations.
 Be respectful of others, technology, and your instructor.
 Give 110% of your effort on all assignments.
 Ask for help when needed.

Grading Scale and 60/40


The course work will be divided 60% on Assessments, and 40% Classwork and Labs. There are several large assignments
throughout the year including the FRC Robotics Competition. The grading scale on all assignments is as follows:
A 93+ A- 90-93
B+ 87-89 B 83-86 B- 80-83
C+ 77-79 C 73-76 C- 70-72
D+ 67-69 D 63-66 D- 60-62
E >60

Assignments
Assignments include in-class activities, labs, projects, tests, etc. Retests of assessments will be allowed only on
assessments that scored lower than a 75%. The max score a student may obtain on a retest is a 75%. Any retests must
be completed within two weeks of the original assessment date. Students will receive daily participation points for
following classroom expectations and participating in classroom discussion. There will also be daily warm-ups and cool-
downs that may count either as an assignment or an assessment score. Extra credit is built into the course and is not
awarded but must be earned.

Late/Missing Work
Please note the student handbook regarding policy of late or missing work. Late work will be marked down and will not
be accepted after two weeks. Missing assignments are expected to be returned within one day per each absence. If you
