A final test and midterm will be given at the end of each semester that will cover all material taught and is worth 200 points. This grade will be averaged into the quarter grade.

9. Homework Homework is due at the start of class. It is your own individual responsibility to put completed homework in the tray. Cheating results in a zero. Check grades often for zeros. A (O) in the grade book means I did not receive the assignment and it is worth a zero. No name papers will be attached to the cart in the front of the classroom. A (O) is entered for papers with no name until claimed by the student. Half credit will be given when the student returns the paper. If you are absent, ask for your work. I can’t remember everything!

10. Report Card Grades Grade for each quarter is found by total points earned divided by total points available. Semester grade will be found by averaging the two quarters. Semester grade must be at least a 65% to pass the semester.

11. If you don’t pass this class each semester, you will repeat the semester failed next year. No exceptions.
