Grading Policy
Grading
You will be graded by four different categories: Tests, Quizzes, Homework, Participation and Labs. Your final grade for the quarter will be calculated from total points. Test 40% Quizzes: 30%, Homework: 15%, Lab/Projects: 20%.

Homework Policy
Homework
Homework must be handed in on time. It must be neat and legible. Your homework must have your name on the top along with the period. If the homework is from the book, the assignment must be written at the top of the page. Also, do not turn in homework that was ripped out of a notebook; I will not accept it.
