Homework will be
assigned most nights and some weekends. Because of
the nature of homework, it must be completed as directed,
and it MUST be submitted in class when it is due or no
credit will be earned. At the beginning of the year, each
student will choose a trustworthy absentee partner and
exchange phone numbers. If a student is not in class, s/he
must call this absentee partner for an update and complete
the assignment for that night. When the student returns,
the partner will supply the student with any handouts or
notes given on the day of the absence. This is a wonderful
system that offers the students an opportunity to expand
their skills in responsibility and reciprocity.
Homework averages will be worth 100
points towards the overall marking period grade. (Fifty
points at the midmark, fifty points at the end.) Although
homework is often dreaded by students, it truly is the
best way to practice skills, learn self-discipline, and
gain knowledge about time-management. If you are
surfing this site as a way to postpone starting your
homework, log off and get to work! |
