 * Homework: Homework will be assigned every day with rare exception and collected randomly to be checked for completion. (3 pts each)
 * Classwork: Occasionally classroom assignments will be collected and graded for __correctness__. If I am in the room, there is no reason you can’t ask me for help!
 * Quizzes: Quizzes will usually be given about halfway through the chapter and be worth 40-50 points. Occasionally, you may have small quizzes (a quizzete, if you will) worth fewer points.
 * Tests: Tests will be given every chapter or topic and will be worth 80-100 points.
 * Participation: Active participation is expected of you. You will all start with 10 participation points. Every time I have to take class time to correct your behavior, you will lose a point. Occasionally, you may be able to earn some points back based on exceptional student behavior.
 * **Extra Credit**: I do not give extra credit assignments out readily. If you receive an E or F on an assignment, you may make an appointment with me and I will determine what you must do in order to earn a 60%
