Each homework assignment is worth a maximum of 3 extra credit points in the Homework category.
3 pts: 100% correct
2 pts: 67%+ correct
1 pts: 33%+ correct
Once a homework assignment is completed, turn it in to me. I will grade each problem as right/wrong, hand it back to you, and assign you the score. ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN TO RECEIVE ANY CREDIT. Any problems that are incorrect may be corrected and resubmitted to regain credit.
The Matrices quiz may be attempted after the third lesson. You are required to have received 3 pts on each of the first 3 homework assignments in order to attempt this quiz. Again, you must come in during advisement or after school to take the quiz. Your score on this quiz will be added as extra credit to your Quiz category score. Once the quiz is completed, you may progress to the last 2 lessons.
The Matrices test may be attempted once the quiz has been completed and you received 3 pts on the last 2 homework assignments. Again, you must come in during advisement or after school to take the test. Your score on this test will replace your lowest test score, calculated at the end of the semester.
Some final notes:
Start. Early. Don't procrastinate, as the deadline comes much faster than you think. This gives you more time to ask questions and study for the quiz, where you earn the bulk of the extra credit.
You will see as you progress through the lessons that there are examples that require you to use a calculator to get the result. Unless otherwise specified below, all examples are to be done by hand, with full work shown. The quiz and test will reflect this. These are the only examples that require a calculator:
Solving a matrix equation with a 3x3 matrix
Solving a 3 equation, 3 variable system using a matrix equation or an augmented matrix
Working on the notes and assignments with classmates is encouraged. However, sharing answers and other forms of academic dishonesty will result in disqualification from any extra credit. Be honest and get something out of this!
