Homework

I will always give you enough class time to complete the majority of your work. However, if you do not use
your class time wisely, you may have to finish incomplete work before you come to the next day’s class. If
you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed so you can complete it and receive
marks for it.
All assignments and notes will be posted at 115math.weebly.com

Tests

You will write a test at the end of every unit. If you miss a test due to an excused absence, it is your
responsibility to notify me before the test is written so we can schedule another time for you to write it.
Students will also write a cumulative Midterm Exam in January and Final Exam in June.
