All work MUST be shown to receive full credit on the tests and quizzes. There will be no sharing of material. Students must be prepared for each exam this includes pencils, paper, etc. Students will not be allowed to use any devices (cell phones, MP3 players, etc.) during exams unless otherwise specified. This includes calculators; students will be instructed prior to the exam when a calculator will be permitted. Each test and quiz must be completed following all instructions to receive full credit. Absences:It is highly recommended to attend every class. Each student should limit his or her absences as much as possible to avoid falling behind. Any student absent from class is responsible for all make-up work. Make-up tests will be given upon the student’s return to class either before or after school, by appointment. Following their absence, each student is responsible for requesting any missed tests, quizzes, or make-up work upon returning to class. Only students with EXCUSED absences will receive make-up work, quizzes and/or tests, of which they have 3 days to make-up. Extra Credit:Extra credit will not be assigned on an individual basis.

Students caught cheating will be given an automatic zero on the assignment, project, quiz, or test and be sent directly to administration. Parents will be notified and other teachers will be alerted. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, copying someone else’s work, “lending” your classwork and/or homework to another student, and “lending” knowledge of a test/quiz to another student. Do not risk your grade and integrity for a few points. Work hard and you will be rewarded. Please see the instructor if you have any questions regarding this policy.

Algebra 2 topics include a lot of graphing. The graphing calculator will give the student an opportunity to double check their work, as well as, allowing the student to analyze how different changes in the function alter the graph.
