You may attend any or all sessions - you are not restricted only to your teacher's session.
You may also drop by Room 719D whenever I am free (see Dr. Freeman's Daily Schedule posted above), and I will help you if I am available. If you would like to guarantee my availability, or require more than 10 minutes, I would invite you to schedule an appointment, either by email or in person.

There will be a Quiz on Inequalities (HW 12A & 12B) before break. For Period 5, it will be Tuesday 11/24, and for Period 2, it will be Wednesday 11/25.
Exam 2 Solutions are posted below.

There will be an "Exam 1 Redemption Quiz" sometime between Monday 10/26 and Exam 2. The exact date will not be announced in advance. No make-up quizzes will be given without a doctor's note or equivalent documentation of justified absence. The quiz will last 10 minutes, and consist of two problems which are substantially similar (but not necessarily identical) to the 10-point problems from Exam 1 (problems 9-14). There will be no partial credit - each problem will be awarded either 0 or 6 points, so the only possible scores on the quiz are 0, 6, or 12. In order to receive 6 points on a problem, you will need to use proper mathematical notation, show appropriate and sufficient algebraic work, and get the correct answer. These points will be added directly to your Exam 1 score. Also, copies of the official "Solutions for Exam 1" are not permitted in the classroom until after this quiz. If I happen to see one in your possession on quiz day, you will not be allowed to take the quiz.
Exam 1 Solutions are posted below.
Quiz 4 on Friday 10/23 will cover HW 6A & HW 6B. Please note the revision to HW 6B below.
Exam 1 will be on Friday 10/16, and will cover all homework through and including HW 5B.
Quiz 3 on Friday 10/9 will cover HW 3B & HW 4.
Quiz 2 on Friday 10/2 will cover HW 2 & HW 3A. You may use fractional exponents if you wish, but they will not be required on this Quiz.
There will be a Quiz on Friday 9/25 covering HW 1.
Welcome to Algebra II.
