Classroom Rules Our number one goal is to create an environment for learning Treat everyone with respect and honor those opinions or discussions made. Do not talk while others are talking especially ME!! Don’t be out of your seat without permission Collaboration is important No chomping gum NO CELL PHONES Unless we are using for classroom purpose (calculator, poll anywhere, stopwatch) First penalty of discipline will be an article critique Further penalties will be office demerits and so forth

How I do things There will be many different parts to class Lecture Discussion Reading Multimedia Labs Quizzes/Test Total Points!!

Homework My goal is to have the minimum amount of homework. Not as many drill practicing worksheets Will be more outside research Reading ahead of class so we can have active discussion in class Section Reviews that are leftover from classwork

Supplies I have calculators, but you may use your own. For now all you need is a spiral notebook containing paper. Notes Bell ringers In-Class assignments Lab Reports Section Reviews Quiz answers Test answers This will be graded day to day, and biweekly Class fee of 20$
