Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Where can I get a copy of the power point slides used as notes for my class?
I will be uploading all powerpoint presentations (notes)to this web page as the chapters become available. Look under the student course page. If you do not have the Microsoft Powerpoint program, you can download a free Powerpoint viewer program by going to the Links section of this website. If you cannot get the program to download, send a blank CD-R disk to school and I will download a copy for you.Back to Top

What can I do for extra credit?
I will post extra credit to the appropriate page on this web site as I see the need for it. However, if the student studies consistently his/her notes from class, they should be able to achieve a good grade without extra credit. Students can take online chapter tests and email the results to me at cprout@monroevols.org for extra credit also.Back to Top

Why is there a viewer code?
I use a viewer code for each grade's information because my notes come some from my head but also from the book printer which includes copyrighted material. In order to keep the copyrighted material from becoming open access on the web, I use the viewer code to limit the viewers to my students only. All students in my classes are given the viewer code on the first day of class and it is written on my board in the classroom.Back to Top

What is bell work?
Bell work is a daily quiz that is given in the first few minutes of class to help the students recall the previous day's material. The quiz is usually not more than 5 questions and can be answered quickly and graded in class that day. I use bell work as a tool to help me gage the comprehension of the material by the students. Bell work counts as a daily grade. Consistently poor bell work scores will lower your grade!!! Review your notes each night and bell work will not be a minus but a plus to your grade!Back to Top
