6.  There will be opportunities in class to earn extra credit points, those points will be ADDED to tests, quizzes or homework.  It is unlikely that there will be any extra credit projects to be done at the end of the semester to boost a grade.  REMEMBER: participation in various class activities is your extra credit!

7.  Homework will be assigned daily, with exceptions.  All problems must be completed to the best of your ability. If you are unable to do a problem you MUST copy the question down and tell me what you believe to be the answer.  Assignments turned in with just answers will not count.  Homework will be checked periodically in a variety of different ways, not necessarily on a daily basis.  Homework should not take more than 20 – 30 minutes daily.  Due to time constraints, 40 minute classes, we will rarely be going over homework in class. Students must come in during tutoring time or before school for help. Times I am available vary during the year, it is the responsibility of the student to determine a time that works. Please come talk to me!!!

8.  There will be a test at the conclusion of each chapter.  There are 6 tests in each semester.  There will be one (at most 2) quizzes during weeks that there is not a test.  There will be at most 12 quizzes in a semester.

11.  I expect each student to be in the room when the bell rings.  Students who are not through the door when the bell rings, no matter how close you are, will be considered tardy.  Multiples of four(4) tardies will result in a SATURDAY detention per school policy.

12.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. E-mail is the best option: leoni@arrowheadschools.org  I believe you find the class to be demanding but enjoyable.
