Homework:
Homework is assigned most nights to reinforce concepts studied in class. All daily assignments are worth 5 points and are not accepted late unless you are absent. They are checked for completion daily and are reviewed in class. No partial credit will be given if homework is incomplete. Homework is posted on the board and on my Schoolwires site each day. If you are absent it is your responsibility to present the made-up work to me.
Test and quizzes:
All test and quizzes will be announced several days in advance. However you should be expecting a chapter test after the completion of a chapter. There will be a final exam at the end of the semester. If you are absent you have the same number of days you were absent to make up the work. Not making-up a quiz or test within that time period will result in a zero for that assessment. It is your responsibility to come to me to make arrangements concerning the missed work.
Cheating:
Cheating will not be tolerated. Please reference the Central Bucks Academic Policy.
Grading policy:
