4.  Precalculus is a tough subject – it is finally putting all together all that math we have previously learned!  Homework is so important to stay on top of!  Students are responsible for checking the odds at home  We have time in class to ask questions – especially from our peers (the best way to learn!)  We learn new material almost every day  The PowerPoints are all posted!

5.  Grade Breakdown  Tests: 80%  Homework: 10% - based on completeness  Other: 10% - quizzes, notes, projects  Allowed (if student has done 80% of homework overall) to drop one low test score  Grades on a 90-80-69-58 scale

6.  A “can-do” attitude  Good work ethic, good study habits  The knowledge that this course is based on the integrity and respect for our tests and work  I will not tolerate cheating in any form!   Supplies:  Spiral notebook for notes  Any kind of paper for homework  Graphing Calculator AND Scientific Calculator
