Grading: Homework, tests, quizzes, essays, class participation, projects, journals, presentations, — everything handed in counts for a grade. Cheating, either given or received will not be tolerated and will result in a grade of a zero!!
Materials: You will need a binder with loose-leaf paper and pens/pencils. You should three-hole punch any handouts and insert them into the binder for safe keeping and organization.
Absences: It is your responsibility to get any missed work from the teacher and you have one day for every day you were absent to complete the assignment. Plan accordingly.
