=** Class guidelines **= 1. All students must come to class with a notebook, pencil, pen, paper, and a calculator. 2. Do not cheat. Students caught cheating will receive a zero and a phone call home as well as disciplinary action. Do your own assignments. Copying is cheating. 3. Pick up after yourself. 4. Do your very best!

=** Grading scale **= It is your responsibility to know your grade at any given time. The teacher will only give the total grade at the end of the quarter and on progress reports. All the earned points will be added together then divided by the number of possible points for that period.

An incomplete assignment or missed test will result in a 0. 10% of your grade will be based on positive attitude and classroom participation. Participation includes attendance, preparedness and in class participation.

You will be required to take notes almost every day. You must have a notebook to keep notes and hand-outs in. Tests will be announced ahead of time so missing the day before the test is not an excuse not to take it. Quizzes may occur on any day. You will be required to do homework and write lab reports. Homework must be on time to receive full credit. Late homework will loose 50%. Late lab assignments will loose 10% a day. You have a maximum of 3 days to make up missed work after an excused absence; it is your responsibility to schedule a time to make up work. In the case of an illegal absence all work will receive zero including tests.
