• During lecture, notes are taken. Detailed methods will be explained. Notes are for your recollection prior to exams. Notes are to be taken on binder paper. Spiral notebooks are OK but don’t tear out any pages in class.
• Notes in the proper format will be allowed during pretests.

GRADING:
• Chapter tests (100 points) will be preceded by chapter quizzes (40-50 points), which are pre-tests. Study the pre-tests to prepare for the tests. There will be short quizzes (both announced and unannounced) on the lecture material. There will also be unit exams that use the material from the chapter tests. Labs will require a written form (writeup) which will be graded as the lab grade. Lab participation grades will be given on the proper behavior and procedures during the labs.
• All assessments must be made up if absent without reminder from the teacher.
……………………………………………………………………………..
HOMEWORK:
• Homework will consist of written vocabulary, lab writeups, plus special topics and quizzes. Homework submittals are due at the class period on the due date. It will not be accepted after the class period on the day and will be graded as an “F.” Missed homework due to absence must be made up within two days after return from the absence unless there are special arrangements under a contract. It is the student’s responsibility to find out what missed assignments were and to make up the work without reminder from the teacher. Much of the homework will be given as a package which will often be checked off in class. Homework papers and pretests (Chapter quizzes) should be kept and used to study for chapter exams and for unit exams.

GRADES:
Grades are determined by tests, homework, notes, and extra credit.
Test grade scale:
100+ A+ 87-89 B+ 77-79 C+ 67-69 D+ <60 F
93-99 A 83-86 B 73-76 C 63-66 D
90-92 A- 80-82 B- 70-72 C- 60-62 D-
We do not round in any classes at San Benancio.
Citizenship grades are also given. I prefer to use the definition of citizenship that states "the duties, rights, and privileges of a citizen". The duties of a citizen of this school are to bring materials to class, be on time, do required work, and behave appropriately. A student who does all those will get an "O" for outstanding citizenship. Those who do not complete the duties will get either an "S" for satisfactory or "U" for unsatisfactory, depending on the duties not completed.
