Students will be graded on daily work, homework, quizzes, tests, and/or projects. Students are responsible for doing the work assigned to them and for reading any supplementary texts assigned. Tests will be graded on a 100 point scale, quizzes 50, and homework and other projects at the teacher’s discretion. A quiz or test will be given at least once a week, though frequently they will be given more often (especially quizzes).
Students are expected to come prepared for class. This means you should have paper, pen or pencil, and your book. If you find that you do not have one of these items, you should make arrangements to acquire them before the bell rings. Students who are unprepared once class has started more than once in a week may be docked points from their daily grades. Students should be ready to work when the bell rings. This does not mean that you can run in when the bell rings, lay down your things and go to the restroom. If you plan on using the restroom, be sure to give yourself enough time to get to class before the bell. As this class is being taught first period, you should have no trouble accomplishing this. Remember: four tardies to first period results in detention as per school policy.
This class has a class blog at htrigfall07.blogspot.com. All homework for the class will be posted on the blog. In addition challenge problems will be posted on the blog periodically. Students are encouraged to use the comments on blog posts to discuss problems and help their fellow students. Rules for posting comments are as follows:
1. All students must post under the name they use in class (no anonymous comments).
2. No disparaging comments are to be made about other students or their work.
3. While you are encouraged to help your classmates with their work, you may not simply post the solutions to the problems. You need to help each other, not do each others work.
