11. Grading Scale

12. Materials Needed • A 3-Ring Binder (one inch) or the notebook you started this summer. • Loose-leaf paper • Flash Drive • Pencils

13. Bellwork • Bell work is where you answer 5 questions that are found on the board.

14. Homework • Homework is also written on the board everyday. Homework should be written down in your agenda at the beginning of each class after you have finished your bell work. In math class, your nightly homework will be to review what you did that day in class. You are not allowed to make up homework unless you have an excused absence. Homework can also be found on my class website.

15. Quizzes • Quizzes will be given at the end of each standard learned or about every four classes. Quizzes will contain information learned during the week and can be prepared for by looking over all homework, class work, and notes completed during the week. Quizzes can be multiple choice, matching, drawing, short essay, and demonstration. There may also be information from previous chapters to make sure you have retained the information. You may do quiz corrections after you have received your quiz grade. If you are caught copying from another student’s quiz then you will no longer be allowed to do test corrections instead you will have to retake the test in a different version. I feel that you have should learn from your mistakes, not simply copy from another student’s paper.
