Course Information for the 2012-2013 School Year

 

Course Description:  This course is designed for students planning to attend college that require additional background in Algebra concepts. This course will build on the concepts and skills learned in Algebra 1.

 

Teacher’s Goals, Expectations, and Student Participation: Students are expected to be on time to class and prepared for the class activities. Class will usually start with a “Do Now” problem which is to be completed at the start of class. I expect classroom rules, as well as school wide rules to be followed in class.  There will be homework almost every night, and you should expect a quiz every 2 to 3 sections. A test will be given at the end of each Chapter.

 

 

Course Materials:You will need a notebook with 3 sections; one for classwork and “Do Now “ problems, one for 
notes, and one for homework. You should bring this notebook to class every day along with a writing utensil and 
any homework due that day. You should also have your own scientific calculator as it is difficult to provide a full 
class set and I cannot guarantee that I will have enough to go around. 

 

Assessment Procedures and Policies:

 

Tests –  40%

Quizzes – 30%

Homework/Class work/Class Participation – 30%

 

Each Marking Period is 22% of your Y1 grade, the other 12% is the Final Exam.
