I was wondering...
When can I make-up missed tests or quizzes?
If you knew about the test/quiz in advance, you will make up tests or quizzes during class the day you return. It is your job to remind Ms. Anderson about your test/quiz. If your absence was "school related," you are responsible for being prepared with all make-up work on the day you return.Back to Top

What can I do to improve my performance on vocabulary tests?
It is important to begin studying for a vocabulary test at the beginning of the week, rather than wait until Thursday night. Since the vocabulary tests require you to apply what you know about each word, it would be wise to practice using each word correctly. Write a sentence using the vocabulary word. Include context clues which will indicate the meaning of the word. Ex. elucidate Since we didn't understand the concept, we asked the teacher to elucidate the abstract math problem. INCORRECT: The word elucidate means to make clear. (The sentence lacks context clues; it merely states the definition.)Back to Top

What do I do if I know I am going to be absent?
It is best to let me know as soon as you know when you will be absent. Try to get assignments ahead of time. If a test is scheduled during this planned absence, make arrangements to take it the day before. If you are on campus, but you are not in my class due to a school related event, you are still responsible for turning in work THAT DAY!Back to Top
