Unit exam Review Books? • Good for supplementing the text • I have some you may borrow • Best to get it now R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me Expectations • Out of respect for your fellow students, be on time to avoid disrupting the lesson • Address the speech, not the speaker (“I disagree with what was said because…”) • I love it when you have something to say, but please raise your hand if you have something to contribute. Speaking in turn will ensure that everyone is heard clearly. • Please hand assignments in on time. You will lose 5 points for every period missed Expectations • Stay organized! Copy the lesson’s objective, the question of the day (Q.O.D.), and homework assignments at the beginning of class everyday. • Be in your seat and prepared (with all necessary tools) for class before the bell rings. • Only utilize cell phones/electronic devices when I say its ok!!!!! Grading Grading • 50% Tests, Quizzes (daily) and Essays • 30% Homework (short term assignments and long-term projects) • 20 % Classwork (work included in class and participation) There is no such thing as good writing, only good re-writing. Therefore, you have 24 hours to read my comments, re-write, and re-submit your essays for an improved grade. I see procrastination as an indication that you are not organized or prioritizing your studies. Please do not expect sympathy for bad study habits. See me if you need time-management tips.
