Making up written work does not replace the valuable discussions and activities that occur in the classroom. Students are required to keep an organized notebook, dated with each day’s notes/class work. Homework will be collected at the beginning of each class. There will be weekly quizzes, 1 or 2 projects and a Unit Test for each unit. Occasionally, students will be allowed to use their notebooks as a reference during a quiz or test so an up-to-date notebook is important. In January students will take midterm exam, which will count as 5% of their final grade for the year. At the end of the year students will take a final exam, which will count as 15% of their final grade in the course.
