Course
Requirements:
1.
Participation:
Your willing participation in all class activities is
expected.
2.
Quizzes,
Tests, and Quests: Quizzes
will be given at the teacher’s discretion.
There will be adequate notice for major tests.
Pretests and Posttests may be used to measure progress.
3.
Daily Homework: I expect
everyone to do all daily assignments. For the first two/three weeks, this will
be collected every day whether it is graded or not. Answers to the odd
questions are in the back of the book. I expect you to use them appropriately.
(After doing your assignment, check the answers; correct if necessary.) Show
your work. A list of answers is unacceptable. Unacceptable papers will be
redone. .
4. Vocabulary List/Notes: You will be expected to take notes over any new material. If your vocabulary list is complete, notes should be minimal. You will be expected to keep a written vocabulary list which will include the definition of the words you feel are important. . This notebook of terms should be organized semi-alphabetically (in other words, words that begin with “a” are on the “a” page, etc.; they are not necessarily alphabetized within the letter grouping) This will be checked periodically and collected on the day of the test. It will be graded on content, completeness, and neatness.
