Course Policies: Below will be a brief discussion of my course policies.
Attendance, lateness: Attendance is very important in class. Each student will be given a participation grade every day (specifics will be discussed later in the grading section). Arriving late to class is a disruption to me and other students. Each student is expected to be in class and on time every day. The attendance policy and the make-up procedures are located in the “Student Handbook”, pages 15 – 18.
Class Participation: Weight Training is a hands-on learning environment, so participation is very important. Every student is expected to participate in class every day.
Make-up Policies: Students will be given the opportunity to make up schoolwork missed because of an absent. This policy is located in the “Student Handbook”, page 18.

How do I make up a day missed in class? You must pick up a “make-up form” from Coach Arnhart. This must be filled out, completed, and turned in within the appropriate time frame. Any school sponsored trip will not count against your daily participation, and you will not need to make up those days missed.

Grading: Each student will earn up to 20 points daily. If the student is not dressed out the maximum points earned will be 18 out of 20. Grade scale below.
Daily Participation/Dress 60%

Fitness Test 10%

Classroom Work 10%

Written Tests 10%
