Students are required to update the student planner every day; planners should go with the students to every class. Quizzes and tests are announced a few days before they are given. Planners should go back/forth every day and completed work should be checked off. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF WRITTEN HOMEWORK IN THE SUBJECTS I TEACH, ABOUT 1/2 HOUR FOR EACH SUBJECT PER WEEK. HOWEVER, STUDENTS NEED TO REVIEW NOTES, PRACTICE PROBLEMS CORRECTED IN CLASS, TRY ODD NUMBER PROBLEMS (ANSWERS IN THE BACK OF THE MATH BOOK), MAKE STUDY CARDS, ETC. THIS WORK SHOULD TAKE AT LEAST ONE HOUR PER WEEK FOR EACH SUBJECT. MANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GIVEN IN CLASS WITH DEMONSTRATIONS (HIGHLIGHTING NOTES, MAKING REVIEW PAGES, REREADING PARAGRAPHS, ETC.)
