Why is homework assigned?

Biology contains many complex & abstract concepts.

Homework is necessary to practice these concepts. Practicing
these concepts will help you remember them for high school.

Getting good grades in high school will help you get into a good
college.

Graduating from a good college will help you land a great job.

You'll make loads of money at your great job........ and live
happily ever
after!

Why do we do Math in Science class?

Math is the scientist's most important tool.

Science require excellent math skills, including
graphing. You can not avoid doing math in Science.

The skills you learned in middle school math will be used in
Science. If you have forgotten concepts, I suggest you spend
some time reviewing.

Basically, Math is important because of Science. But don't tell
your math teacher!

What is the policy for late work?

You are allowed only 2 Late Homework Passes per semester. This
only applies to assignments for which the answers have not been
corrected in class.

This is fair to the hardworking students that take responsibility
for completing their homework.

No work will be accepted the week before final grades are due.
