Where can I get a copy of the power point slides for my class?
I will be uploading all powerpoint presentations to this web page as the
chapters become available. Look under the student course page. If you do
not have the Microsoft Powerpoint program, you can download a free
Powerpoint viewer program by going to the Links section of this website. If
you cannot get the program to download, send a blank CD-R disk to school and
I will download a copy for you.
--------------------------------------
What can I do for extra credit?
I will post extra credit to the appropriate page on this web site as I see
the need for it. However, if the student studies consistently his/her notes
from class, they should be able to achieve a good grade without extra
credit. Students can take online chapter tests and email the results to me
at cprout@monroevols.org for extra credit also.
--------------------------------------
Why is there a viewer code?
I use a viewer code for each grade's information because my slides come
some from my head but also from the book printer which includes copyrighted
material. In order to keep the copyrighted material from becoming open
access on the web, I use the viewer code to limit the viewers to my students
only. All students in my classes are given the viewer code on the first day
of class and it is written on my board in the classroom.

What is bell work?
Bell work is a daily quiz that is given in the first few minutes of class
to help the students recall the previous day's material. It is usually not
more than 5 questions and can be answered quickly and graded in class that
day. I use bell work as a tool to help me gage the comprehension of the
material by the students. Bell work counts as a daily grade. Consistently
poor bell work scores will lower your grade!!! Review your notes each night
and bell work will not be a minus but a plus to your grade!
