Class Assignments

Students receive in-class work time for homework. They will be bringing home anything they don't finish. Additionally, I rarely assign homework to be due the next day. Students will have time to complete assignments in the classroom if they use the time appropriately :)

Corrections Policy

Tests: Students may complete corrections for up to a maximum of 80% (C). To earn credit, corrections must include the correct answer and an explanation of why it is correct.
Assignments: Corrections may be completed only if the assignment was submitted on time. Corrected work may earn up to full credit.
Late Work: Late assignments are not eligible for corrections.
Purpose: Corrections are meant to help students learn from mistakes, not as a shortcut for not preparing.

Weighted Grading

*Please note that "In Class Participation" only includes in-class formative assignments including but not limited to exit tickets, Near Pod, and bell ringer questions. Students will not be graded on often they "talk".
