All students are expected to arrive in class on time and prepared with:

   1.  Your  COVERED BOOK

   2.  A PEN or PENCIL

   3.  a scientific calculator  

   4.  A three-ring binder for your notes:


 

KEEP IN

ORDER!

* theorem and postulate sheets

* class notes for each day

* sample problems worked in class

* homework and worksheets

* closure questions, if any

 

5.  Your High Point Planner

 

GRADES:

  Your grade is based on the following:

1.  Tests and Quizzes  85%             

      (includes class participation, notebook,

      computer lab activities, collected classwork,

      projects, group work)

2. Homework /Carnegie

    Work  15%   

HOMEWORK:

   Homework is your opportunity to apply and practice what is done in class.

    1.  Homework will be checked each day.

    2.  Do homework on a SEPERATE PAGE from your notes.

    3.  Write the page and problem numbers at the top of the page.

    4.  Show the problem and work  NEATLY  (you should be able to show some work even if you can't complete the problem).

    5.  Correct problems as we go over them in class, fixing the WORK as well as the answer.

    6. A repeating pattern of late or incomplete homework will result in "homework" detention.

    7.  You will be homework "buddies" with the person sitting next to you. When your  homework buddy is absent, you are responsible to collect any worksheets and handouts given out that day to give to your buddy when he/she returns to school. Also provide your HW buddy with a list of missed assignments.

 

NOTEBOOKS:

    1. A three-ring binder is required.

    2.  Take notes in class each day: write down the aim and date, any information on   the board or overhead, the warm up activity.

    3.  Homework should be done in your notebook.

    4.  Keep worksheets and handouts in your notebook in order. If you are using a spiral notebook, you will need a folder for handouts and worksheets.

    5.  Notebooks will be graded at once each marking period.

ATTENDANCE/ MAKE-UP WORK:

Success in this course requires your daily presence and participation. If you are absent for any reason you are expected to complete all missed assignments and get class notes.

 

    1.  Your homework buddy will have the worksheets and assignments you missed.

    2.  You will have as many days to make up your work as you were absent. I will consider special circumstances and 3.  If you are absent the day before a test or announced quiz, you should BE PREPARED to take the test/quiz when you return; if you are absent on the day of the test/quiz you are expected to make it up as soon as possible.
