Department
Policies
All
students are required to have a three ring binder notebook. Any
student not prepared for class will result in a zero for the day.
When you are absent you are responsible for making up the work. It
is expected of you to get to class on time. If you are absent the
day of a quiz you have 1 week to make it up. All quizzes count for a single grade. They can
be either written or oral. Any textbook issued to a student,
becomes the responsibility of that student. Lost or
damaged books must be paid for by the student. Homework must be
returned in no later than a day. All homework will count as follows:
