Classtime Be on time. Come prepared. Listen respectfully. Do not bring any distractions to class. Use study time for math. Work together. Ask for help when needed. Utilize the entire class period. Persevere! 11/22/2018 Math is awesome!

Homework Complete every assignment to the best of your ability and come prepared with specific questions.

Academic Integrity Do your own homework. What does this mean? Correct papers accurately (your own or those of others) and report scores honestly. NEVER give me any reason to doubt your integrity on a test. (Are notes allowed? Are calculators allowed? Can you ask for extra time to finish? What can you tell other students?) 11/22/2018 Math is awesome!

Any instance of academic dishonesty will result in a score of zero on the assignment, a report made to the office, and a phone call home.
