Can you provide my child with extra help?
YES!! Unfortunately, the college that I went to did not provide the education majors with a mind reading course :) so your student would know BEST if they need help. I can only work with what I see in class. But please feel free to give me a call if you feel that you child is having a difficult time at home.Back to Top
Homework is checked daily. It is based out of five points. 5 points if it is all done with work, 3 points if homework is about half done, or if there is no work, 1 point if minimal work/assignment is done, and a 0 for not being done. How your student's grade is weighted: Homework: 20% Quizzes: 30% Test: 40% Project: 10%Back to Top
Why is showing work so important?
Work is important because it allows me to see where I need to focus for the benefit of the student. If just an answer is given, I can not help the student learn from his/her mistake.Back to Top
