Rules & Policies
Etiquette
There is a strict NO CELL PHONE policy in my class. This means no texting, no phone calls, no listening to music, no streaming videos. Use of your phone during class will result in warnings, taking away of classroom participation points, and further disciplinary action.
Be respectful of other students. This includes not disrupting other students' ability to learn. |
Attendance
In math, you must be present to win. A portion of your grade is based on your attendance and classroom participation. You must show up to class on-time. Unexcused absence and tardiness is not tolerated and will be disciplines based on school policy.
Grading
We will strictly follow the following grading scale using unweighted points.
A: 90% - 100%
B: 80% - 89.99%
C: 70% - 79.99%
D: 60% - 69.99%
F: <59.99%
The total points in the class will approximately be broken down as follows:
Attendance/Class Participation - 15%
Homework - 20%
Quizzes - 20%
Exams - 25%
Final - 20%
To calculate your grade, sum your total points earned and divide by the total points available. Please note, a 89.99% is a B, not an A. There must be a cut-off somewhere and this is it. Grade sheets will be passed out with each exam and you may request to view your grades at any time either in class or by email.

Cheating & Plagiarism
You must do your own work and show your work. If you are caught cheating on homework, quizzes, or exams, school disciplinary action will be taken.
Participation
Approximately 15% of your grade is just showing up to class and appropriately participating in classroom discussion and group projects. Points will be given for appropriate participation and will be taken away for inappropriate participation, disruption, or distraction.
Homework & Quizzes
Homework is due at the start of class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is due when you walk in and then you will have a quiz each Friday covering the material for the past week. Your lowest quiz will be dropped. DO NOT USE PEN FOR HOMEWORK, QUIZZES, OR EXAMS.
Extra Credit
There will be no scheduled extra credit. Extra credit MAY be given at the teachers discretion as in class assignments. These can not be made up if you are absent the day they are given.
