Homework
Homework is assigned daily and is due the following
day, unless otherwise stated. I try to assign
problems that will prepare you for this course as well
as future math endeavors. Many
problems will be odds, and these are to be checked
in the back of the book.
Remember: All work must be shown – ALWAYS!
Homework is graded as 2 points (completion of each
problem), 1 point (missing several problems
from the assignment), and 0 points (did not turn in, or just copied
answers out of the back of the
book).
“GIVES”
I
understand life gets crazy sometimes, and you are unable to complete
your homework, for a
variety of reasons. “GIVES” have come to your rescue! You have 2 GIVES
per semester, which means that
assignment is due the following day and no credit will be
deducted. It is your responsibility to remember to
turn in the assignment, as well as letting me know at the beginning of
class the day you are using it.
Tests/Quizzes
Tests and quizzes will be announced and will be given in class. I
will usually let you know 4-6
days before an exam, and 3-4 days before a quiz. You will take the
Math A in June as your final exam.
Grades
Everything is based off of a point system. Your grade
is determined by the number of points you
earn divided by
the total number of points available. Your grade is determined by the
following:
Semester 1
Final Grade
Q1
40% Semester 1 40%
Q2 40% Q3
20%
Exam 20% Q4
20%
Math A 20%
Blackboard
Everyone
will sign on to be a member of the class’ Blackboard system. Copies of
all notes will be
provided as well as all HW assignments. If you are absent, you should
print the notes off of
Blackboard, do the homework assignment, and then see me if you have
specific questions. Also, your grades
will be available on the class’ specific Blackboard site. You should
check this
regularly, and if there is a mistake, NOTIFY ME IMMEDIATELY! This is
your responsibility!
