Grading Policy:
1. Your grade will be determined by the number of points you have earned on tests divided by the total number of possible points. Points will be earned from tests only. Some tests will be take-home.
2. You are allowed to make test corrections. They MUST be done on a separate sheet(s) of paper and stapled to the front of the test. You have one week to complete the corrections. I will not take them after the due date.

Homework Policy:
1. Homework will be assigned almost every day. It will not receive a grade. You will be given the answers to all the homework. You are expected to complete all assignments, make corrections, and ask questions. I recommend that you form study groups. Try everything and do not be afraid to make mistakes. This is a difficult course and you may not understand the material the first time around. DO NOT give up. You will need to persevere and trust me when I say that it will all come together in the end.
2. Assignments will be posted on "classroom" on a weekly basis. You will take a picture of the weekly assignments and upload them to "classroom." They must be received by Friday at 2:30 PM of each week.
3. Parents or guardians will be emailed every few weeks if you are not completing assignments.
