• Exams comprise 60% of the marking period grade.

• "Daily Preparation" (Assignments, Pen, Paper, Notebook & Calculator) will comprise 20% of the marking period grade.
• Laboratory experiments/activities comprise the remaining 20% of the marking period grade. Safety is of first and foremost importance in the lab. Safety violations will have a detrimental effect on your grade. Laboratory reports are to include the following sections: title, purpose, materials, procedure, data, observations, calculations, discussion, and conclusion. All calculations must be shown, and interpretations of graphs and percent error calculations should be included in the discussion section when applicable.
• Late assignments will be charged -10 points per school day.
• A very short, "EXTRA" , OPTIONAL, EXAM is administered during the last five days
  of EACH MARKING PERIOD. This is your opportunity to replace a previous exam grade.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES: SEE, CALL, E-MAIL ME... but not during class time.

• It is your responsibility to complete all material (from any of the three aforementioned categories) regardless of attendance. Make-up time will be allotted based upon the number of days missed, complexity/length of assignment(s), and/or nature of special circumstances. Typically, one day for one day.

• Maintain a 3 RING NOTEBOOK and a scientific calculator!

• GET HELP! Your text, another text, the internet, a study guide, a classmate, a relative... ME!
