1. your COVERED BOOK

WHAT TO DO IN CLASS

 

 

1. You should take notes in class each day. The date should be at the beginning of your notes each day.

2. You should write down all definitions, postulates, and sample problems I write on the board. Write the original problem as well as the answer.

3. Do practice problems neatly and show all work!

 
















HOW TO DO HOMEWORK

1. Check the assignment section.

2. Read the directions carefully. If you don't know how to do a problem, look at the sample problems we did in class. You should be able to show some work even if you can't complete the problem.

3. Do your work in PENCIL.  It's easier to correct mistakes and it's NEATER!

4. Write your name and date worksheet and keep them in your notebook.

5. Do your homework on a seperate page from your notes. Write the assignment on the top of the page.

6. SHOW ALL WORK!

7. Correct problems as we go over them in class, fixing the work as well as the answer.

8. Homework will be checked most days and sometimes collected.

9. If you are absent, you must hand homework in to me. I will be happy to help you with any assignment before or after school.

10. TAKE TIME EACH NIGHT to review your definitions, theorems and postulates!

11. Don't forget to use your TEXTBOOK as a resource; the explanations and illustrations are excellent!
