Homework is worth 10% of your grade , but will negatively affect your quiz and test grades as well if you don't practice!
Homework is due on the assigned day. If at least half is done, you MAY get half credit (my discretion).
Start homework on a new page each day with your name, the date, and the assignment on the top of the page.
Use a pencil and show all of your work. No work = no credit.
Work down, not across the page. Leave a space between problems. Don't crowd your work.
HW should be shown at the beginning of class in your organized notebook!

Quizzes and tests are the remainder of your grade (UCE = 15% in Q1, Q2; Portfolio = 5% in Q1)
Use a pencil
Show your work or risk getting zero credit even if you do get the correct answer--I'll assume you copied it from someone else or it was a lucky guess, both of which are worth zero points!
Label axes on graphs with variables or names and units when available
Arrows on axes, arrows on end of functions unless they don't go on forever, in which case you should make a quick note of the real-life domain and range restrictions
Simplify your answers!
- Depending on situation, reduce fractions, factor completely, get rid of complexx fractions, rationalize radicals, write polynomials in standard or factored form, etc.
- If working on a problem relating to the "real world" use decimals if needed, but round properly. E.g., don't give an answer with 8 decmila places if all of your numbers used limit you to one or two. Think of significant digits from science!
- Always provide units on problems related to real-world numbers!

Each Quarter I'll check you notebook to make sure it is neat, organized, and complete (quiz grade)
Use a three ring binder divided up into the folling sections...
- Class Notes and your reading notes (and handouts used for notes or class work)
- Homework (including hw handouts)
- Tests & Quizzes with attached CORRECTIONS
Organize each section chronologically (or use reverse chronological order)
