Homework will generally be assigned every class and will usually be the Check Your Understanding section at the end of the class activity. All students are expected to complete all homework assignments for the following class. While homework is not graded, having completed the homework each day makes you eligible to retake the weekly Open Note Quizzes (ONQ’s).
Each week, there will be a brief quiz on the material covered. If you completed all homework assigned by the due date for the week, you will be allowed to retake the quiz if you desire. If you are working hard (as shown by your homework) to learn the material covered in this class, you deserve more time and support to learn the material.
If your homework is not complete, illegible or unfollowable, is hurriedly completed in the first 5 minutes of class without much thought, or is not your own work, you will not be able to participate in this opportunity.
ONQ's will be given once a week and are worth 20% of your overall grade. You are allowed to use your notes and homework on these quizzes.
These quizzes will be graded out of 5 points:
If you have not mastered the concept and receive a grade that you are unhappy with, you will be allowed to redo another version of the quiz on the same topic the following week given that you have completed all of the homework. The grade that you score on the second quiz will replace the grade of the previous, even if it is lower.
