    Homework

    Homework is the most important aspect of this class. The homework exercises are where you will practice any new material, and review previously learned material.

    An assignment will be given with each lesson, to be completed before the lecture of the next lesson begins. I will collect homework and grade it thoroughly--point values will vary from 10 - 50 points per assignment.

     

    Homework guidelines:      Done on graph paper only                  Done in pencil only                     Neat & Complete

     

    The following policy will be used in grading Homework and Tests:

    "A", "B", "C", or "M"ight need more time

    If a student does not achieve mastery (a C or better) on any assignment or test, an "M"  will be placed in Progress Book until a "redo" is completed and found to be at mastery level. The highest grade possible on a "redo" is a C.

    If a homework assignment is not turned in, an "M" will be placed in Progress Book until it is completed at mastery level. The highest grade possible on a late assignment is a B.

    If assignments are not completed by TEST day, the student will receive an "M" for the test, and will not take the test until all assignments are completed at mastery level. If a student does not take the test on time, the highest grade possible will be a B.

    Assignment and test grades will not be entered until a mastery level is completed--an INCOMPLETE will be put on the grade card until the student completes the work at mastery level.

     

    Late Work (refer to above policy)

    Late assignments will be accepted, but the highest grade possible will be a B. All chapter homework must be completed before the chapter test is taken.  Remember this is a COLLEGE LEVEL course and you should conduct yourself accordingly--there is no valid excuse for late work.

     

    Notebook

    A neat and well organized notebook is a must. There will be no grade attached, but it will be very helpful in reviewing for tests and quizzes.

    Make up Work

    If you are absent 1 day, you have 2 days to catch up. If you are absent 2 days, you have 3 days to catch up, etc.

    Grading Scale

    A 90 - 100

    B 80 - 89

    C 70 - 79

    D 60 - 69

    F 60 or below

    Grades will be based on points from homework, quizzes and tests.

    Students need to have passing grades on 2 of the 3 grades at the end of the semester to receive credit in the course (i.e.. 9wk, 9wk, semester exam).

    Progress Book
    Grades are kept on Progress Book.  You may access a students' grade at anytime.  Feel free to email with questions anytime--after checking the computer grade.
