Any
score on a test that falls below 70% (C-) is considered “non-mastery”,
meaning that a part of the material was not understood well enough. Students will be allowed to retake the
portion of the exam that was not mastered provided that it is taken within
THREE school days of the test date. The
highest score possible on such a retake is 70%.
It is the responsibility of the student to set up a retake time OUTSIDE
of class time. If you see an “NM” on
your test, you have not mastered all the material covered and are eligible for
such a retake.
Cheating is a real
problem. A
zero on the assignment, detention, and call home will follow any cheating
incident, whether on exams or homework.
Lab reports will be submitted to turnitin.com via e-mail as well
as a hard copy to me. I would rather you
fail with dignity than stoop to cheating.
A
notebook is required with all your notes. This notebook is crucial to your success in
the final review project at the end of the year. Notebook checks will be for points. Detentions are given to those not taking
notes.
Journals
are required and will be kept this
year and collected weekly (see journal page).
Calculators
are required for this class. If you don’t have one, buy a Casio fx-260 at
WalMart for $10. As long as it has a
“log” button on it, it will do what we need it to do!
Tests
and lab reports are weighted. Homework is
collected and reviewed. Frequent quizzes
and lab demos are given. In addition,
the semester final is 20% of your semester grade.
