Assessment:

Chapter Tests:  200 points

A chapter test will given at the end of each chapter.

Quizzes:  100 points

Announced and Unannounced quizzes will be given frequently to evaluate you understanding of topics as we progress through each chapter.

• You may take one retake on either a test or a quiz each quarter.  However, the retake must be done within three day from the test or quiz and the two will be averaged for your final score.  You must come in for 50 minutes of help before retaking the quiz/test.

Mini-Quizzes (Daily Evaluations):  200 points per quarter

Mini- Quizzes will be given on a daily basis.  You have one day to make up a mini-quiz  if you are absent.  At the end of the quarter I will drop you lowest mini-quiz score.

Homework and Notes:  100 points

Homework will be assigned on a daily basis.  Notes may be given by me in class or assigned to be taken from your text.  Notes and completed homework ( includes copying of original problem, and all work shown) are to be kept in a three ring binder.  Your three ring binder should have separate sections ( homework, notes, quizzes/tests and warm-up problems) or be in chronological order.  It should be neat, well organized and contain any extra material handed out as part this course.  The grading of homework and notes may vary:  for example, daily checks, random collections, or homework/ notebook quizzes.
Grading Policy on daily checks of homework:
Three points:  Homework is completed thoroughly:  original problem is shown, done correctly and is on time.
Two points:  Homework is not done completely (i.e the last few problems are missing or original problem is not shown) or homework is completed thoroughly and is late.
One point:  Work is not shown or homework is only half completed!
I will not accept any late homework past the chapter quiz/test!
