Course Expectations:
1.Students are expected to be in their assigned seat when the bell
rings. Have homework and notepaper out and ready. Students are expected
to contribute positively to the learning environment in classroom. Ask
questions and seek out help when confused.
2. There will be a math assignment everyday. I will
not collect homework but it will be checked at the beginning of class
the day it was due. I will be checking whether or not all the problems
are completed and all work is shown and for neatness. Using a pencil
will be to your advantage. A problem will be on the board for you to
work on while I am checking homework. Late home work is not accepted.
3. Every student is expected to take class noted
every day. They should be clearly labeled with the section we are
covering. They should include sample problems worked out.
4. Every student will use a three ring binder with
the following sections:
a. Class note
b. Homework
c. Returned Quizzes and Test
d. Handouts
e. Vocabulary and definitions
f. Postulates and Theorems
The three ring binder will be turned in at each test and graded for
completeness and neatness.
5. There will be a quiz or test each week. Quizzes
may be announced or unannounced. If a quiz or test is missed because of
an absence, it must be made up before or after school as soon as the
student returns or when scheduled by the student and teacher. You must
speak to me about a missed test or quiz the day you return or you may
receive a zero. I f a student does poorly on a test, I will allow a
retake if the student shows evidence of getting tutored and it must be
done before the next test.
6. Extra Credit: I will post a Problem of the Week
each week for extra credit. I will also have some extra credit problems
on each test.
7. A first and second semester cumulative exam will
be given.
8. A quarterly progress report will be given to all
students to be signed by parents and returned. You can also check your
grade on the website.
9. It is students' responsibility to find out what
they missed when absent and make up the work. You have one day to make
up work for each day missed. If it is pre-arranged absence, you are
responsible to get the assignments before the absence and turn then in
the day you return.
