COMC Summer School Syllabus [Read First!]

COMC Summer School Syllabus

Welcome back to those who have failed my class and welcome to COMC to those who are wanting to get ahead of their class and take electives the upcoming year.

This is COMC Summer School (COMCSS) where students can enroll early or make up their enrollment. You will do exactly the same thing as you would do during the school year. There may be some lessons that are taken off for reasons of a school budget, but other than that, you may be experiencing the true Care of Magical Creatures class.

ENROLL

Before we begin, please owl me the code below. I would like to know who will be enrolling for the class. If you haven't enrolled in time, then you may crash the class and hopefully get a spot-- of course, there's no doubt you will. Not a lot of students enter Summer School programs here. Please make sure to owl me the application filled out below.

RULES

I bet you're wondering what I expect within the classrooms. Just like any classroom, respect everyone and everything - including the creatures, and the most important rule of all is to follow directions. Any directions that you don't follow may result in an injury. Not all creatures are play things that are harmless. There may be creatures that are larger and stronger than you. The rest of the rules is common sense and I feel that I don't need to give you a list.

If you do not follow the rules there will be consequences. One can be your own injury from the animal, another points can be taken off your grade, or detention taken with me, or the last consequence is that you will have a one-on-one chat with Headmistress Rollins in her office.

GRADING SYSTEM

Now I bet you want to know how I grade. I don't do 'homework' so of course you can be happy about that, but I do count a lot of your grade by participation. If you miss a class, then you will not get credit for the class and your grade will go down. Each class is 25 points, and there are four for the COMCSS. (This may change). If you are late, then a couple points will be marked down. I take no exceptions for I am taking off my summer vacation to teach here in Providence. So please try your hardest to make the classes that I give.

If you want to know how well you're doing, you may look at the spiffy COMCSS Gradebook. It will be updated after every lesson.
