MATERIALS:
- A graphing calculator is REQUIRED for success in the class. I recommend the TI-84, TI-84 Plus, or TI-84 Plus CE, but any graphing calculator will work. Calculators may be rented from Mrs. Bradfield (Room 300) for a fee of $20 for the year.
- Red pen (for correcting assignments)
- $10 math fee
GRADE BREAKDOWN:
Assignments (20%), Quizzes (35%) and Tests (45%)
Assignments
- Due at the beginning of class.
- Assignments must show work.
- 10 points: 0-5 for completion (based on percent complete with work shown), 0-5 for correctness.
- Late assignments: 30% penalty (2-3 points).
- Late assignments will NOT be accepted after the review day.
Quizzes
- Short quizzes will be given most days at the beginning of class.
- Being absent the previous class period does not excuse you from taking the quiz. You are responsible to get the work you missed.
- Quiz retakes will be offered ONLY on Review Day and during Wednesday SIR’s. Students who fail to come in during these times forfeit the opportunity to retake any quizzes.
- If you will be absent for a quiz you can make arrangements to take it before you leave. Otherwise you can take the retake quiz.
- Students must have all assignments completed with work shown to be eligible to retake a quiz.
- The retake score is the final score that will go on your grade.
- One retake per quiz.
Tests
- Three per term.
- If absent for a test, you will take the test on the retake test date unless you make arrangements with me to take it before you leave.
- Missing review day does NOT excuse you from taking the test on test day.

CITIZENSHIP:
Tardy / Attendance
- 4 tardies will result in a U.
Cell phones and iPods
- Please keep you cell phones silenced and put away during class time. Your learning will improve if you keep distractions to a minimum.
- All cell phones and similar wi-fi enabled devices are not allowed during any quiz or test. Using a cell phone during such times will be considered cheating.
- Do not listen to music during class (no earbuds).
- You may NOT use a cell phone for a calculator.
Behavior
- If you are asked repeatedly to change your behavior, you will receive a U for the term.
Cheating
- Cheating of any kind is not allowed.
- If I see evidence of cheating on an assignment, you will receive a 0.
- If I see evidence of cheating on a quiz or test, it will be taken away from you and you will receive a 0 for the quiz; a new test of a different form will need to be completed for any test credit on the first offense only. After the first offense, you will receive a 0 that cannot be made up.
- Any form of cheating will result in a U for the term.
