What happens if I am absent the day of a test or quiz?
Calculus students will make up the missed test or quiz in
class the day they return. If you are absent more than one day, then a
different make-up test will be administered after school.
Algebra 2 Honors students who miss a quiz will use the chapter
test grade to replace the missing quiz grade. If a student
is absent for a test, he/she will make up the test the next
day during class. If a student is absent then, the student
will need to make arrangements to take a different assessment
after school.
What can I do if I'm having trouble in class?
Students who are concerned about how they are doing in class have a couple of
options. They can go to peer tutoring sessions through Mu Alpha Theta (day to
be announced) or they can make arrangements to meet with me before school
for extra help.
How can I get information not provided on the website?
Parents or students can e-mail Mrs. Martineau at
beverly.martineau@browardschools.com.
What can I do to improve my grade if I do poorly on a quiz?
In Algebra 2 Honors, if your Chapter Test grade is higher than the quiz grade, your
quiz grade will be replaced by the equivalent percent of the test grade.
In Calculus, you will have numerous opportunities to earn bonus points in
class on multiple choice AP questions. However, you will not be able to earn
these points unless you are in class, so frequent absences will eliminate
your opportunities to earn extra points.
Will homework be collected and graded every day?
In Algebra 2 Honors, homework will be collected regularly and graded 0, 5,or
10 for completion. Homework will count as 10% of your 9-week grade. In Calculus, homework will
be collected on Fridays and the day of a quiz/test, and count up to 5% extra credit added to the 9-week
average. It will be graded on completion--copying the problem and showing all
necessary work. Occasionally, special mandatory assignments will be assigned
and graded.
