GRADES: Your grade is based on the following: 1.Tests and Quizzes 95% (includes computer

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: the aim and date, any information on the board
or overhead, including sample problems, warm up activity. 3. Homework should be done in your notebook. 4. Worksheets and handouts
should be kept in your notebook in order. 5. Notebooks will begraded once EACH marking period. ATTENDANCE/ MAKE-UP WORK: Success
in this course requires your daily presence and participation since each lesson builds on previous knowledge. If you are absent
for any reason you are expected to complete all missed assignments and get class notes. 2. You will have as many
days to make up your work as you were absent. I will consider special circumstances and needs, and extra help will
always be available if needed. 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.
