I'm saying, students will have HW due every day. There will be practically no time to do any work in class. When it is completed, I will mark it "on time," or "one day late," or "two days late," etc. However, students get 5 points EC for each school day HW is done early. HW will be gone over in class. I will work any problems that students have questions on. All the HW that a student does will be turned in on test day as a package. HW counts as 10% of a student's 6-weeks grade. Quizzes: Students will have a quiz on all nontest days. Quizzes will cover the HW that we just went over in class. I will grade quizzes and return them to the students THE NEXT DAY, guaranteed! If a student is unhappy with a quiz grade, he may take it over as many times as he wishes.........and the final grade will be the average of the best two! But there is a one week deadline to take quizzes over, so students can't procrastinate. Tests: Students will have a test approximately every 2 weeks. Therefore, students willl probably have three tests every 6-weeks. Tests are long and hard! They will take about an hour or more. But, if a student is unhappy with a test grade, the same rules apply as with a quiz........he/she may take it over and the final test grade will be the avereage of the two.
