Due dates and Late work (PLEASE READ)

• Late work in this course. All work is due by the end of each chapter.

  • This is important as each concept in a course builds on the previous concept. Turning in late work only generates points with out timely practice and comprehension of the concepts

• ALL WORKSHEETS are completed in class and cannot be taken home. Work completed outside of class will receive a zero.

  • If you are behind utilize all of your class time and come in on Hornet Time

• Each 9 weeks you may turn in one late item for full credit of the earned grade

• Items received after the due date will only received 65% of the grade earned

• If you have an excused absence, school policy states you have the same number of days your were absent to turn the work you missed in. It is your responsibility to find out what is missing, and what is do and when.

  • Check Progress Book

  • Check the daily Presentation slide up when class starts (and/or during class

  • Listen to daily class announcements given by the instructor

  • ask the instructor

What works:

• • Take notes – You may use any notes you take in class or from the textbook, completed workbook pages on any test or quiz that I will be giving. You must have your notes with you when class begins.

  • Get involved and solve problems

  • Don’t sleep

  • Turn everything in regardless of how you think you did

  • Ask Questions

Things that Don’t Work:

• • Asking to go to your locker after class begins

  • Asking to go to the restroom as soon as class begins

  • Not taking the initiative to be prepared for class (have your materials, textbook, etc…)

  • Trying to guess how little you have to do to pass the class
