Homework - 20%

Formative

Two to three homework assignments will be assigned in a typical week.

The homework will be digital assignments with links on Google Classroom and will be graded based on completing problems correctly. Typically, seven questions correct are required for a 100% although this might be adjusted depending on the difficulty of the assignment.

I will donate my time to be available for extra help after school most Mondays and Thursdays and during lunch.

Homework completed after the due date within the same week it was assigned will lose 5 points.

Late homework completed the following week up until the test will lose 10 points.

Late homework completed after the unit test will lose 50 points.

Quizzes - 40%

Summative

There will be one quiz each week. The quizes will typically have just one question that mirrors the homework.

Students can retake the quiz any time up until the unit test.

Tests - 40%

Summative

In order to retake a test all the homework must be completed.

Students will complete a review in class on the day before the exam. An answer key to the review will be available on Google Classroom.

Extension

If a student is needs extra time to complete an assignment, they can email me to get an automatic one day extension. The subject of the email should include the name of the assignment. If they did not complete the assignment beause they would like to request extra help they should include in the email when they plan to meet with me for extra help. A response from me is not required. If they send the email the answer for a ONE day extension is automatically YES!
