Course Expectations

A. Daily Assignments and class work:

Complete assignments are worth 5 points. Late assignments are worth 3 out of 5 points if complete. Absent and late work are due the day of the test.

Tests

Quizzes will be announced. There will be 1 or 2 quizzes per chapter. There will a test after each semester. After 2nd and 4th quarter there will be a final exam.

C. Tardy Policy/Participation

Each student will be awarded 45 points at the end of each quarter for participation. However, for each tardy the student receives, two points will be taken away from the total 45 points. For each day the student is absent (excused or unexcused), one point will be taken away. For example, if a student was tardy 3 times and absent 2 days, then the student will be awarded only 37 of the 45 participation points.

D. Extra Help

I encourage you to come in for extra help whenever you need it. I am here in room 107 before zero hour, as well as during lunch. I am also available in the math office or in my room during my prep periods which are 3rd hour and 4th hour. I am also available the first half of 7th. I am also available after school by appointment since I have a zero hour.

II. Grades

Grades will be determined as follows:
