Class Materials: All students are responsible for bringing their own materials to class each and every day. Included are pencils, pens,chromebook,notebook, pocket folder, colored pencils, worksheets/homework, and textbook.
Assignments:
Daily Assignments: There WILL NOT be an assignment given every day. When an assignment is given, I expect assignments to be done by the dates given in class. If homework is handed in late, you may lose up to one letter grade for each day it is late.All work assigned MUST be kept in a notebook. The notebook will count towards their grade.
Quizzes: Both announced and unannounced. (Typically will be over a section or two in a chapter)Tests: Each student will be assessed over concepts learned from each chapter. Students will receive notice of tests at least 1 week before it will be given.
Projects: Throughout the semester, students will be completing projects
that will be announced in class. The majority of the projects will be done
in groups. I expect each student to do his/her part within the group (Note:
some out of class time will be needed to complete projects). Due dates for
all projects will be given in class.
Expectations:
1.Be Respectful.
2.Be positive! Be a considerate classmate! Be organized! Be prepared!
3.Complete all assignments on time. Each student will receive 1 “D.O.G.” homework pass (“day-of-grace”) each quarter. These passes can be used only on daily assignments, not on tests, quizzes or projects. The pass provides for a “day-of-grace” on the assignment; students will still be required to hand in the assignment the following day, but without point deduction.
4.Be willing to cooperate and work with others!
5.Cheating WILL NOT be tolerated. Any student caught cheating will receive an automatic zero on the assignment.
Homework Policy
Students work will be marked late if it is not done to specifications as of the start of the class period. Students will have 3 days to complete the late assignment to the teacher’s specifications. As a result of being late students may lose points at the discretion of the teacher.
If students don’t complete and/or turn in work after three days they will receive a zero for that assignment.
It is the students responsibility to come and see the teacher to hand in papers or ask if they are unsure of an assignment.
