No
test grade will be dropped. One quiz grade will be dropped. Homework
that is attempted in earnest will receive a 100. If homework is not
done at all, the grade is a 0. It is crucial to be prepared for your
tests/quizzes and to do your homework.
No
late homework will be accepted. Homework should be done on a nightly
basis in order to develop skill as we work through a unit. Homework is
graded for effort and not correctness so appropriate work should be
shown for each problem. Answers to problems without showing work are
considered not done and no credit will be received. If you are absent, the assignments will be located on the whiteboard in the back of the room. Make sure that you pick up the make-up work quickly and before/after school.
Calculators
The TI-84 calculator is used in class. Students that do not have a personal TI-84 will be able to use a class calculator during class only. An signed permission form must first be signed. If a calculator is needed at home, please consider buying one to leave there.
