Expectations:
1. When I am teaching or speaking, you are quiet and listening.
2. Time given to you in class to work on your assignment is to be used
for that purpose.
3. You will respect
others at all times.
Attendance
& Late Work:
If you are absent it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed and to get the
make-up work in to me within the time allowed (school policy is 2 days + the
number of days absent). If you know
ahead of time that you will be absent from class, it is always better for you
to get the work before the absence. Late
work will be accepted up until the unit test takes place. After the unit test all make up work must be
done through the
Grading: 50% Tests A 90%
35%
Assignments B 80%

Quizzes C 70%

Notes: Notes
are not graded. However, note taking is
essential to your success in this class.
Be organized and ready to take notes daily.
Assignments: Assignments
will be turned in daily, using a three
phase process. Phase 1: I will give you an assignment
and you will complete it with a pencil (strictly enforced) showing
all work. Phase 2: the following day you will correct your assignment using a
red
pen and rework those problems you have missed (use red pen on the
assignment or pencil on a new attached paper) showing all work. Phase
3: turn in the assignment the day after corrections were made in
class. Make sure all original and
correction work is stapled together and labeled correctly.
Each assignment is worth 4 points (3 points for
completeness/ neatness/showing work, and 1 point for corrections).
Tests/Quizzes: There
will be 1 to 2 quizzes per unit and unit tests will be given at the end of each
unit.
Final Exam: There
will be a comprehensive final exam at the end of each semester.
Grade Posting: Your
grades will be posted periodically (by student ID #s) in the class room so you
can track your performance. Even better,
I will be making assignments and grades available online via my website,
“π of the Tiger.” Stay tuned to find out when that will launch.
Hall
Passes:
You will receive 4 hall pass coupons at the beginning of
each quarter to be used at your discretion.
If you need to use the hall pass for any reason you must redeem one of
your hall pass coupons. At the end of
the quarter you will receive 2 extra credit points for each hall pass coupon
that you did not cash in. Lost coupons will not be reissued.
Food Policy:
There will be no
food allowed in the classroom. The
only beverage allowed will be water in a clear, closed container.
welcome…it’s great to
meet you!
