How much homework will I have?

Homework is a significant portion of your grade.  Practice is 
critical to 
success in Math.  Therefore, you can expect homework every 
night.  Regular 
homework should take you about 20 minutes or less if you are 
concentrating 
and not getting distracted.  I expect you to try your best on 
each 
homework.  I encourage you to help each other, but copying 
someone�s work is 
cheating.  It is wrong!  If you are caught cheating, both papers 
will count 
as a zero that cannot be made up.

What happpens if I hand work in late?

Unless there are pre-approved reasons, no homework will be 
accepted late. You must come to class with your homework with 
you.  This may require that you come up with a system of 
organization that works for you.

What happens if I am absent?

If you are absent from class for any reason, you are responsible 
for handing 
in the homework due that day as well as finding out what the 
assigned 
homework was. You have up to 3 days to get it handed in.   In 
addition, you 
must catch up on the notes taken that day.
