The bell only serves as a signal for me to finish class. The procedure in this class will be to ignore the bell until I dismiss you. Your grades for this class each nine weeks will consist of quizzes, homework checks, class work, announced major tests, and a final exam. It is not intended to be punitive, but to be used as a learning tool. Homework will be graded every day.
Homework is an excellent resource pool for test questions.
Homework is graded for effort as well as for correctness, and thus you should attempt every single problem in your assignment. Class time will be devoted to answering your questions about the assignment. If you have not attempted each problem you will not be prepared to ask meaningful questions. You will receive a grade of 100 if every problem is attempted and correct. You will receive a grade of 0 for no problems attempted.
