What can I do if I do not do well on a test or a quiz?
I would strongly suggest that you seek extra help from me. Extra help is offered on Wednesday after school from 2:25 PM to 3:00 PM (or on Thursday for period 5). Other days are available by appointment. I will do everything I can to provide you with support and help you to succeed in class. Re-taking a quiz or test is considered on a case by case basis.Back to Top
Why do I always have to show my work?
I want to see the work because I need to assess that you know the process for finding the solution. Showing the process is also to your advantage because I may be able to give you partial credit.Back to Top
Math has always been a struggle for me; what can I do to improve?
I suggest that you get extra practice. Do some problems again that were completed on the board (make sure you have the correct solution written down for reference. It could also include completing example problems that are shown in your textbook. Finally, keep a record of problems and concepts you are unsure of. See me during extra help with any problems you want explained.Back to Top
