Quizzes will be announced MOST of the time 
 

Tests are announced AT LEAST 2-3 days in advance
 

Any tests or quizzes that are missed must be made up WITHIN THE TIME RANGE THAT YOU WERE ABSENT, i.e., if you were absent for one day, you will have one day to make it up; two days, you will have two days to make it up, etc.
** If there are any unusual circumstances regarding makeup deadlines please bring them to my attention IMMEDIATELY
 

Projects assigned during the year will be counted as a test for the marking periods in which they are assigned (they will also be averaged into you FINAL GRADE for the year)

 

Homework is given every night.
 

Homework is graded on a scale from 0-10.
  * This scale is based upon overall completeness, accuracy, and work effort.
 

Homework is not a punishment! It helps you make mistakes and learn from them, so hat you can correct your errors for your tests.  Which brings me to this point: your tests are based on your homework problems.
 

There are various ways for one to participate in class.
 

If you pay attention, ask questions, do not disrupt others, and do the assignments you should receive a good participation grade.
 

Another big part of participation is BEING ON TIME TO CLASS!
 

For every time you are unprepared or disruptive 2 POINTS will be taken from your grade.
 

For every time you are tardy 3 POINTS will be deducted (after the 1st warning)
