Grading

Course Description

The Intro to Tech course covers the basics of tech: lighting, sets, and costumes.  We will cover many of the basic terms and concepts that are needed to start off being a theatre technician.  

Methodology

A combination of lecture, class discussion, presentations, cooperative learning, and project-based learning will be used in these classes. Grades will be determined by the satisfactory and timely completion of assignments. The grade of each assignment is based on the prerequisite given for each assignment.

Classroom Expectations

1. Arrive to class on time
2. Be prepared, with chromebook/laptop and paper/pencil
3. Respect your classmates and teacher
4. Give your all, all the time
5. Be responsible for your actions
6. No eating, drinking, cell phones(unless instructed to bring them), or earphones permitted in the classrooms

Class Requirements

Homework will be given when needed, but not on a regular basis.  Google Classroom will be utilized for all assignments and projects.  You will need one pocket folder and a notebook for taking notes (or a pocket portfolio with loose leaf paper).  Other supplies for projects will be provided for you.  During the Makeup rotation, you should bring a container of baby wipes (to quickly clean your face).  

Plagiarism, Cheating, and Academic Integrity

Plagiarism is the practice of copying words, sentences, images, or ideas for use in written or oral assessments without giving proper credit to the source. Cheating is defined as the giving or receiving of illegal help on anything that has been determined by the teacher to be an individual effort. Both are considered serious offenses and will significantly affect your course grade. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct booklet for additional information.
