CLASSROOM RESPONSIBILITIES:

  1. Always be prepared for class. This means having: your textbook; a notebook exclusively for math; your school planner; a graphing calculator (if purchasing a new calculator the Math Department recommends the TI 84); and something to write with everyday.
  2. You are considered tardy if you are not in the classroom at the tone. Also, you should be ready to start class immediately.
  3. You will be given an assigned seat. From time to time, I may make changes.
  4. Do not bring any food or soda into the classroom (this includes candy). Water  is the only drink allowed!
  5. You are responsible for keeping a running total of your points in this course. After each quiz, test, or homework check, you will recalculate your grade. With this system, you will have the opportunity to verify your scores with what I post on the internet.
  6. If you have a pre-planned absence, you must have your daily work completed on the day of your return. See me ahead of time for your assignment.
  7. If you have an excused absence for one day, you are responsible for the daily work on the day following your return. If the day you miss is a review day or a test/quiz day you will be expected to take the test/quiz the day you return.

GRADING FORMAT:

Your grade will be determined by your performance on homework, quizzes, and unit tests.
bullet Homework: I will assign homework almost every day. I will check periodically with the use of homework quizzes to monitor your progress. Each homework quiz will consist of four problems (2 randomly chosen problems from your homework assignments and 2 original problems similar to your assigned homework). For full credit on each problem you must provide sufficient work and the correct result. Homework makes up 10% of your grade.
bullet Quizzes: In order for both you and I to assess your grasp of new material, I will give a quiz almost every week. The point value of each quiz will vary. (10-30 points for quizzes)
bullet Tests: At the end of every unit I will assess your learning of the major concepts. The point value on each test will vary. (50-80 points for tests)
