My Expectations
 Students
are expected to come to class
prepared, turn in their homework before
class starts, and be ready for the warm
up.
 Absences—If a student is absent they
have the same number of days of their
absence to make up their work. It is the
responsibility of the student to ask for
assignments they missed and questions
they may have.
Work policy

Grading


Late work


1 point per question for exit slips, 2 points per
question for homework, higher points for tests and
quizzes.
I will accept late work from students, but they MUST
contact me. I do take away 10% of their grade for
each day it is late and after the 10th day, the grade
is a zero.
Extra credit


Randomly picked problems every so often
Some worksheets are made for extra practice may
