Tips for Success • Meet the deadlines for all assignments. • Hand in COMPLETED assignments (but partial credit is better than no credit) • Come for after school help as soon as a problem arises. DO NOT WAIT FOR IT TO GET WORSE. • Students need to keep up with their homework. • Even if nothing is ‘officially’ due the next day, I encourage studying notes, practicing skills learned in class, or working on their project.
Tips for Success • There will be a lab almost every week • There is 1 project per marking period • Participate in class. • Review the material covered in class on a regular basis. • Do not wait to study everything before a test/quiz. It can get overwhelming .
