We will do several dissections of specific organs or parts of body systems but no whole organisms. We will also do a variety of non-dissection activities.

12. Where can I find the day’s notes? All of my presentations are available to you 24/7 on my website. Lessons, assignments, and announcements will be posted at the end of each day. To access the presentations, simply click on the desired lesson and wait for it to load. All presentations are in PowerPoint format. If you do not have PowerPoint on your computer, you can download a “PowerPoint Viewer.” There is a link on my website for this.

13. Turn in homework assignments by placing them into the basket on the card beside my desk. Other useful items are located on the green table behind the door:

14. Assignments without a name will be placed in the “NO NAME” box. Printed assignments (not hand written) without names may have to be thrown away since there is no way for me to determine if the person claiming the paper is the person who did the work. NO NAME

15. You can find your grade on PowerTeacher website. You or your parents can also ask for a printed report of your grades anytime via email. If there is a missing grade in my gradebook, bring in your work and show it to me and I will enter the grade. If you have turned in something that has not been returned to you, check the “no name” box. How do I find out my grade?

16. Late Work Work turned in late due to an excused absence: Be sure to write “Absent” on your paper so I will not count off a late penalty then place it in the correct homework basket. Work turned in late for any other reason will be assessed a penalty appropriate for the amount of time that has passed since the work was due.
