Welcome to My Classes

                                                                           

This year is the fifth year that I work at ASK. I am so proud to be a member of the ASK family. I have two masters in Mechanical and Civil engineering. I graduated from University of Colorado Denver and I am a professional Engineer (PE). I used to work at some engineering companies like ICAST as an energy engineer. My love in Math and science and its application in engineering and more than that my passion for teaching convinced me to continue my career as an educator.  I am so excited that I will teach AP Physics, Physics and Principal of Engineering this school year. My hobbies are hiking, reading historic book and watching European movies. 

 

My late submission policy for unexcused late submission is 10% deduction from original grade for each 24 hours. No assignment will be accepted after one week.

 

20% of your grade is based on practice and participation. This section evaluates the engagement of each scholar in all the group or individual activities include lab activities.

30% of the grade is related to the projects. All of these three classes are project-based-learning classes and projects play a key role in the scholars' grade.

20% of the grade is related to quizzes which scholars take after each sub-chapter and they have a chance to level up these grades by talking about mistakes and correct methods after school or Fridays. Remediation of the quiz grade is not acceptable after end of chapter test.

30% of the grade is also related to end of chapter tests.

 

Using cell phone is not allowed in my class unless I ask scholars to use it for some educational goals. Cell phones should be off in the pocket or bag pack. Scholars who use computers in class are just allowed to use them for their tasks. Inappropriate use of technology after one warning causes discipline referral form.

 

Uniform Policy

The Academy requires that all scholars wear a prescribed uniform. 

Tops (Shirts) – All scholars must wear an ASK polo shirt, with the ASK logo, purchased from an approved ASK vendor. The color of the ASK polo shirt identifies the scholar with their selected career pathway.  Polo shirts will not be overly baggy, nor exceedingly tight. Shoulder seams must be at the shoulders, and shirts cannot hang down below mid-thigh level.  Middle School – Red or Light Blue  High School –  Biomedical Sciences – Dark Green or Purple  Engineering and Design – Royal Blue or Burgundy  Bottoms (Pants) –  Allowable pants/slacks of solid color (khaki or black) and should meet our uniform expectations. They should be of a non-stretch, khaki or similar material.  No shorts, skorts, skirts, cargo pants (pants with many pockets) are allowed.  No excessive “sagging” is allowed. Inseam of pants must be where legs and torso join.  Excessively tight pants such as spandex, yoga pants, leggings, sweat pants or other non-uniform fabrics are not allowed. 

Footwear

 Scholars must wear closed-toe shoes at all times at the Academy (no sandals, flip-flops, crocs, open-back shoes, slippers, or shoes made out of foam are allowed). Please remember that our learning spaces have sharps, blades, power tools, solvents, and acids so adherence to this policy is a priority. No headwear Hats, bandanas, beanies, headbands with extraneous distractors, etc. including sweatshirt hoods, are not allowed inside the Academy. Exemptions for headwear that may be required for religious reasons will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

Outerwear 

Jackets will not qualify as a replacement to an ASK polo. Jackets may be worn as long as they have a zipper front and are not excessively baggy (shoulder seams are at the shoulders and cannot hang below mid-thigh level). When worn inside, jackets must allow full view of the ASK polo (be worn unzipped indoors). Scholars can wear sweatshirts and hoodies under, but not over the ASK polo. Please remember that the ASK polo is one of our layers of security. Clothing or jewelry that are determined to pose a risk to potential injury while in the learning environment will not be permitted. Attire or accessories which advertise, display or promote any drug, alcohol, tobacco, gang, sexual activity, violence, disrespect or bigotry towards any group, or items that are associated with a gang are not permitted. All attire should be suitable for a professional environment.
