What are my homework and classroom responsibilities?

1.  Homework is to be completed and passed in on time.
    * If not, you will have one day to pass it in for 1/2 credit.
    * After that, you will receive a permanent zero for that assignment.

2.  If you are absent:
        * Your homework & classwork must be completed within one week.
        * Look for make-up work in the weekly class work red divider
        * You will be paired up with a classmate inorder to record the missing
             notes and agenda assignment.

3. If you are falling behind, ask for HELP. On certain days, I will be 
   available after school. If you are unable to attend my session or having 
    difficulties, I encourage you to take part in the tutorial program.  You 
    will be paired up with a student from UMASS Dartmouth who will help you 
    with your school work.  They are flexible and work around your schedule.  
    The charge $12/hr.
