Grading Policy
-
ALGEBRA II
Materials - students are encouraged to keep a neat, complete and well-organized BINDER, and they may use both their notes and all class handouts for quizzes (but not for Tests or the Midterm or Final Exam). STUDENTS IN HONORS CLASSES MAY NOT USE THEIR NOTES FOR ANY EXAMS. As there is a significant amount of graphing in this course, I recommend the use of graph paper for all note-taking, so that accurate, neat graphs can easily be added to any problem.
Participation - I often assign in-class work. When announced, this work will be checked and graded for COMPLETION (not accuracy).
Extra Credit - Individual extra credit will be given for the first quarter, at my discretion, upon the request of a student and/or guardian. Individual extra credit can only be earned if a student has followed all the classroom rules and is actively participating in class. Class-wide extra credit in subsequent quarters may occasionally be given in class, and if a student is absent the day it is assigned, they are not eligible for that extra credit.
