 When is all homework due in this class?
All homework is due every Friday.  The students will be given a slip of 
paper that tells which assignments are due and must be stapled to the 
homework as it is turned in.  The latest a homework assignment may be turned 
in is on the Monday afterwards with a late penalty of 10% assessed.  There 
are no exceptions to this policy.

 When are office hours?
Students can come in and ask for help before school, at lunch or after 
school every day with few exceptions.  If students tell Ms Doughty when they 
are coming in, she will do her best to meet their needs.

 Do you give make-up tests or allow test corrections?
Make-up tests are allowed only in extreme circumstances however, test 
corrections are allowed for each student twice a semester.  In order to do 
test corrections, the students must come in on their own time to my 
classroom and answer each question correctly using only their notes and 
textbooks.  With test corrections, students can only earn back HALF of the 
points that they lost on their test.

 Do we need graphing calculators?
While graphing calculators are definitely recommended for future math 
classes, all that is needed in Algebra I and Algebra II are scientific 
calculators which can be purchased for about $10 as opposed to $100 for 
graphing calculators.
