Grading Scale:           93-100       =  A                  77-72.999  =  C +
           
                       90-92.999  =  A –                73-76.999  =  C
                                  
87-89.999  =  B +                70-72.999  =  C –

                     
             83-86.999  =  B                   67-69.999  =  D +

                                
  80-82.999  =  B –                63-66.999  =  D                                                                                         60-62.999  =  D

Class Expectations:  Students will expect to be very active learners.  Students absent the day of a test or quiz are expected to complete the make-up on the day of return.  Students absent for more than one day should discuss a make-up day with me.  Students absent have one day to complete homework form the day they were gone.  Homework will be given on a daily basis.
If you need to set up other time for additional help, SEE ME as soon as possible so that we can work out a time to meet.
