Midterm and Final
Students who are successful with these cumulative exams realize that
preparation begins on the first day of class. Here are a few hints: keep
legible daily notes, correct mistakes on quizzes and tests on an ongoing
basis, and keep all quizzes and tests well organized to facilitate the study
process.
Grades
Marking period grades will be calculated using: Notebooks, Quizzes,
Tests, Homework, Projects, Papers, and Daily Activity Performance.
There is no extra credit.
Assignments
All assignments will be clearly posted in the classroom or can be accessed
from my website. Homework will be reviewed, discussed, and corrected at the
end of each chapter. Please be advised that it is integral to students�
success that they keep up with nightly homework because daily activities are
an extension of those concepts.
Absences and Make-ups
Your work is your responsibility. If you are absent, get notes from a friend
and any handouts from me. If you are absent from class on the due date of
any assignment, the task must be completed on the day of your return with no penalty.. If you
are absent from class on the day homework or task was assigned, you will be
given one additional day to complete the task with no penalty. Additional accommodations
will be made for extended absences.
Communication
If you have questions regarding your individual performance, please inquire
before or after class so that the continuity of the lesson is not
jeopardized. If I am not readily available, drop me a note.
Extra help
Remember that you fail only when you stop trying. Please seek me out for any
additional help that you may need.
