Homework is given daily, except on Fridays and over holiday breaks. Most days, you have the opportunity to get started on your homework in class when you can ask me questions.  Assignments are a combination of worksheets and problems from the textbook.

Grading

Your overall grade is based on the grades you receive on homework (15%), quizzes (25%), and tests (60%). Homework will be checked daily for completion and turned in randomly throughout each quarter for a grade (each assignment, if collected, is worth 5 points).
