What is the best way to move files from home to school and vise versa?
A Flash Drive is the very best way to save files as
it holds a lot of information, is secure and
convenient to carry. They work with all PC's
running Windows XP.
Do I need all my science material each day?
Yes! You should have all the supplies you need for
science each day. Bring
a reading book whenever you have an assessment.
Am I responsible for homework even if I am absent the day before?
Yes, but only if it is on my website.
Are reports or labs due even if I am absent on the due date?
Yes! Have someone drop it off at the office or
have a friend bring it in so
it won't be late. A deadline is a deadline. No
one gets extra time unless
it has be prearranged with a teacher. You may also
e-mail work that you
download from my website.
If my floppy disk fails and my printer is broken is my work late?
If you did not e-mail it to yourself, to me or if
you did not hand-write it,
yes, it will be late. Failure of technology cannot
not be an excuse for
having late work when there is always the old
fashioned way.
How can I get what is on your website when I don't have a computer?
You have time during homeroom at the beginning and
end of each day to check
my websites for updates. You can also come in
early to stay late to use a
computer. No excuses.
Can I pass extra credit assignments in late?
No, don't bother handing them in if they are late.
I always give you plenty
of time to do extra credit. If you get a late
start, don't expect an
extension on the due date.
Why do I have to rewrite my notes?
To get them into a format that is useful for you.
I use color-coding in
school to help you understand different parts and
how they are related. If
you don't rewrite and color-code, your notes may
not make any sense to you.
A good example is the formula for writing a
hypothesis. Many people are
having trouble because they haven't color-coded the
formula and it doesn't
make sense. Rewrite and color-code. I'll be
checking for a grade, soon.
Why do I have to look at your website each day?
All homework, long-term assignments, test and quiz
dates and all other
important information will be on my website,
usually by the end of the
school day. My website is your guide to doing well
in this class. Use it
effectively.
