DAILY NOTES/HOMEWORK 
    Homework should be complete at the beginning of the class or it is
   considered late.

   Every homework assignment is worth 4 points.

• 4  points will be awarded if the assignment is on time, complete, the work is shown and corrections are made. Corrections are to be made with a red pen or pencil. Class notes are also included with the daily assignment and must be included with each assignment.
   

• 3 points will be awarded if work is on time and complete, however
  it is missing any ONE of the above (notes, corrections, work)
   

• 2 points will be awarded if the assignment is late or incomplete or
  missing TWO or more of the following: work, corrections, notes.

     Using a red pen, you will check your homework each day in class.
   You are responsible for correcting any errors that you have made.
   A correction means to re-work problem, or isolate the error.  You can
   use another sheet of paper for you corrections or you can make the
   correction next to the original problem. Your corrected homework is
   due at the beginning of class the next day. 

   QUIZZES & TESTS

    One test per unit unless the unit is very lengthy. Two or three    

    quizzes per unit.
 

    SOME GENERAL HOMEWORK GUIDELINES

• Proper heading in upper right corner
   - name
   - page number
   - problems numbers
   - date
   

• Take notes in class, then do your homework right below your notes.
   

• All work must be done in pencil. No exceptions.
   

• Copy the original problem on your paper before you begin to solve it
   

• The steps that follow are to be done one underneath the other, NOT to the side
   

• Leave a blank line between the final step of one problem and the first step of another.
   

• ALL work needs to be shown for credit.  Work done "in your head" or on "another piece of paper" will not earn any credit.

   ATTENDANCE

    Attendance is a necessary component for success in most classes,
   but especially in math classes.  You are responsible for making up
   any assigned work.  If you are absent, you can determine the
   revised homework due date by giving yourself a grace period
   equal to the number of days you were absent.  In other words, if you
   are absent for 1 day, you have an extra school day after you return
   to turn in missed work. Should you need more time, see me BEFORE

   the homework due date and we can work something out. It is your
   responsibility to check Moodle for missed assignments.
   Any work that was assigned before your absence must be turned in on 

   the day of your return, unless other arrangements are made.

   Tests are announced many days in advance. If you miss the day
   before a test, you will be expected to take the test with the class.
   If you are absent the day of the test, you will need to make
   arrangements to make up the test ASAP within the same week
   of the absence.
 

   Unexpected Absences

   Work missed due to lengthy unexpected absence will be dealt with on 

   an individual basis.
 

   School Activities

   If you are involved in school activities that may cause you to miss
   a class, remember that your homework is still due. Be sure to drop

   it off and put it in the homework basket prior to your event.  You are
   responsible for the material that is covered.  Any homework that may
   be assigned will still be due as assigned.
 

   Outdoor Education
   If you are involved in Outdoor Education make sure you check with 
   me to get the assignments BEFORE you leave.
 

   Outdoor Education occurs during the 4th quarter. The curriculum at
   this point of the school year is quite intense, applying and integrating
   previously learned concepts to new material. 

   I strongly encourage you to learn and complete the material before
   you leave for outdoor education to avoid getting behind. This can be
   difficult but not impossible. It will take a commitment on your part.
   As much as I would like to re-teach an entire week of lessons

   to you individually, time just does not allow me to do so. If an exam
   is given the week you are gone, you should plan on taking it before  

   you leave.

   It will take some planning on your part to be able to participate
   in outdoor education, however, it can be done and from what
   I have been told it is well worth it.  In past years, most students
   have worked ahead, asked questions, or had some help from a tutor,
   parent, sibling, high school student, etc.
