Each student must bring a scientific calculator, notebook, paper, and pencil to class daily. Students are allowed to get help but copying is not allowed. Homework is a time to learn from mistakes. Students are graded on effort, not correct answers. To get credit, they must make a noticeable attempt.
Homework is as important as practice to an athlete.
It is mandatory for success. Due to the extremely intense nature of this class, the vast majority of the grade is based upon the numerous chapter tests. Unexcused absences are counted as class cuts, which are handled by Mr. Hennessey. Work done during that class may not be made up. Any quizzes or tests on that day will be graded as zero points.
