Materials to Bring to Class
1. Lined Paper 2. Pen or Pencil 3. Assignments and notes
(notes and assignments kept throughout the year may be used
on the final).
Journals, Assignments, Quizzes, Notes and Tests
Each student is expected to be on time and if they are not, they
will miss the journal question at the beginning of the class
period. Each week we will do a variety of assignments and
about once every other week these will be graded and turned
in. On the day that these are graded, we will also turn in
journal questions and take a short quiz. The quiz will be on
material that is learned earlier in the week. Students usually
take notes on this material. Each term students will take a test
on the unit. Class notes are very helpful in studying for the
test.
Behavior Guidelines
Throughout this course there will be many labs. I do not
tolerate silliness or carelessness when it comes to lab work and
the safety of others. If a student is misbehaving during a lab
they will be asked to do an assignment on their own. Once
that assignment is completed they may be allowed to do group
lab work again. Students need to come to class on time with
the materials required. Any cheating will result in an automatic
zero on the assignment or test. Students are expected to
follow these rules: 1. Respect the property of others. 2.
Follow directions the first time and be prepared for class. 3.
Do not talk while the teacher is talking. 4. Students are only
allowed to use electronic devices when prompted by the
teacher. 5. Work on assignments when given time. 6. No
horseplay.
