 Do I need to bring my book to class everyday?
Yes.
If we have enough textbooks for a class set, students will be notified, and at that point they will be 
allowed to keep their text at home. Students will have the opportunity to bring home a CD of the 
textbook. More information will be forthcoming regarding this CD.

 What is your homework policy?
Homework is assigned almost every night. Students are expected to complete 
the homework daily. Daily homework is worth 2 points if it is done 
completely, in pencil, on time, and all work is shown. Partial credit is 
given if all problems are attempted, and/or most work is shown. Students 
will be given partial credit for homework turned in one day late. Homework 
is not accepted more than 1 day late. Occasionally, homework will be collected and graded.

 How should I prepare for a quiz or test?
The best way to study for a math quiz or test is to review your homework and classwork, especially 
those problems that were done incorrectly (these problems should be easy to identify, because math 
is always done in pencil, and corrections are made in ink)! Furthermore, your textbook has additional 
problems at the end of each section and chapter, as well as in the back of the book.  Don't forget the 
online reviews at www.classzone.com.
