Are we expected to take notes in class?
YES! All students in my class are expected to take notes. As we go through
the material I may cue you as to what is important, however you should
quickly get a "feel" for what should be written in your notebook.
--------------------------------------
Do you offer extra credit?
YES! Every week there is a new question on the board for each grade. If
answered correctly on an INDEX CARD, you will
receive 1 point toward your grade. These points add up, so I strongly
encourage you try the extra credit questions. You can't lose!
You can also earn 1 point for a correct answer on the "Challenge" of each
week's "weekly work". Go for it!
--------------------------------------
Are the extra credit questions the only way to get extra credit?
No. I will explain in class about book reviews you can do relating to the
era which we are studying.
--------------------------------------
Are we allowed to ask you what our grade is throughout the quarter?
Yes! Try to stay aware of what your grade is. I will periodically tell
you,
but you may ask any time. Don't be surprised, though, if I tell you to ask
again the next day if you catch me at a busy moment!
--------------------------------------
Are we allowed to ask you for extra help?
ABSOLUTELY! PLEASE don't EVER be bashful about asking me for help! That's
why I'm here!
--------------------------------------
What is your late homework policy?
Good question. I expect homework to be completed on the day it is due. If
it comes in late, it should be handed to me.
I will most likely tell you to put it on my desk. Any late assignment will
go down one letter grade each day it is late. If there is a pattern of late
assignments, a note will go home along with a current progress report to
show
how late assignments affect the grade.
