Welcome to Algebra 2 Applications. This class is a junior/senior class at Midwest Central High School. It's pre-requisite is Geometry Applications. I hope the information below is beneficial to the understanding of how I run my classroom. If you have any questions you may contact me via the information on my homepage. My policies follow the student handbook that you received at registration time.
Class Preparation - I expect the student to come to each class session prepared with pencils, paper, calculator, a notebook exclusive for math, and homework.
Homework - Homework will be assigned daily. Homework is an excellent opportunity for students to practice and make mistakes then ask questions the following day. That way the knowledge is available to them before taking the formal assessments. On occasion, I will provide time at the end of class to start homework assignments provided the time is used wisely. If a student is absent he/she must check with the teacher to see what was missed and to get the missed homework assignment. Turn in makeup work within the time it is to be accepted. If a student has a pre-arranged absence, all work must be turned in prior to being absent. It is up to the student to come to me.
Formal Assessments - Tests will be announced at least one week in advance. Quizzes are announced at least 1 day in advance. If a student is absent the day before a quiz/test he/she is still responsible to take it with the class. If a student misses the day of a quiz/test he/she must make arrangements to make it up as soon as he/she returns or a zero will be recorded for that particular score. If the student has a pre-arranged absence he/she must arrange to take the quiz/test before he/she leaves. It is up to the student to come to me.
