Homework and Responsibility  (10%)

• Homework assignments offer students the opportunity to think about problems more in-depth. Homework assignments are very important and are assigned just about every day. 

• Students will have the opportunity to revise their answers as we discuss problems. 

• It is your responsibility that you attend class prepared. Having your homework shows that you are prepared.  Homework is graded as a 1 you completed your homework and showed your work or 0 your homework is not complete, you did not show your work.   

• Be sure to have all your needed supplies.

Formative Assessments (40%) 

• Assessments that gather information about students' learning that are used to track progress such as warm-ups, class work, open-ended questions, problem-solving activities, worksheets, and exit tickets.

Summative Assessment   (50%)

• Assessments that show what students have learned throughout the unit such as projects, quizzes, concept checks, and tests. Students will be asked to communicate their understanding and summarize the concepts learned.

Test Correction Policy

• Test corrections will be allowed on a CASE-BY-CASE basis at the teacher's discretion. 

• Test corrections are designed for students who did poorly on an assignment, but have been up to date on all notes, activities, and homework, and need a second chance. 

• Test corrections are NOT for students to use as a second chance after every major assessment because they did not properly prepare for the assessment. 

• Students who meet the above requirements must make an appointment to complete test corrections in Mr. Pooler's room. 

• If all your corrections are accurate, you will receive a maximum of a 70% on your assessment.

Late Work:

• If you do not have your homework on the day it is due, you will receive a zero for that assignment.  It is important that you have completed the assignment on time, this will allow you to have the ability to actively participate in the discussions and questioning that occur based on the homework.  You can not make up a missed homework assignment as we discuss each of the problems on the day that the assignment is due.

• All projects are expected to be handed in on the day they are due.  Projects turned in late, not due to an excused absence, will lose a portion of the responsibility grade for each day late.
