Every so often during the class we will have short breaks in which you check your work with a neighbor and formulate questions. Also, | will be incorporating many exercises in the form of topic specific activities at the end or beginning of most units to help gel your understanding of the day's topics. | want to make our class experience as student-active as is feasible; | welcome your input on anything we do in class. Attendance and Tardiness By now | believe you understand that missing class on a regular basis is a very bad idea in high school. Habitual absence will hurt your overall understanding of the material covered in this course and hence will automatically lower your grades on tests. Please plan to attend all classes. Being tardy to class is a nuisance to me and to your classmates. Please be advised that class will begin promptly, and tardiness will not be tolerated. What | Expect of You As students in my class | expect you to stay current with the assigned exercises and work towards mastery of, not mere acquaintance with, the material we cover. This will require a concerted effort on your part; keep in mind too that it is both my job and my pleasure to help you. | would like you to attend all classes, although I understand that this may not always be possible.Most of all, | expect you to seek out help if you need it. My time outside of class, study halls, and your fellow classmates are all great sources of help. The responsibility for getting help is on you, but you also have much support.
