Hi!
I'm David Carpenter. I teach physics in rm. 1014 at Hayes High School, in Delaware, Ohio. I try to use my experience as a research engineer, amateur astronomer, amateur radio operator, and more, to bring physics to life for my students. I want students to know why they are learning physics. I believe students should be able to use and to apply what they learn. I have a BS degree in physics and an MA in education, both from The Ohio State University. Prior to teaching, I worked on defense related projects as a research engineer at Battelle Columbus Laboratories. My teacher certification areas are physics, mathematics, and gifted education. |
Late Assignment Credit Policy
· 1 day late for an unexpected excused absence – full credit
· [Pre-excused absences and extended excused absences – please discuss with teacher]
· Unexcused late assignments – half credit until the corresponding unit test
· Unexcused late assignments after the corresponding unit test – no credit
Missed Lab, Test or Quiz Policy
· The first day you return to school, either make up the work or make direct arrangements with the teacher to make up the work.
· Make up work is never done during regular class time (so you don’t miss another period of class).
· Make up work should be arranged to be done after school, or during the teacher’s preparation or study hall period and/or during the student’s study hall period.
· Please discuss with the teacher if there are conflicts.
· Jobs, sports, music, etc., are not justifications for failing to make up work in a timely manner.
· It is frequently not possible to make up work after school on Wednesday’s due to staff and department meetings.
Class Rules
1 Respect others.
2 Learn as much as you can.
3 You alone are responsible for your education. Be organized; be an ‘aggressive’ and autonomous learner.
4 Have notebook out and open when the start bell rings.
5 Remember that Room 1014 is the 1st one that visitors see, set a good example.
6 You are expected to have a non-programmable scientific calculator on test days. No programmable calculators may be used on test days.
7 No food, gum or drinks (except water in clear containers).
8 No standing at the doors.
9 No standing in lab areas without teacher direction.
10 Passes must be signed by the person in charge at your destination, not your starting point.
