Class+Expectations

Ludlow High School's instructional focus is a comprehensive effort to improve our students' ability to read a variety of texts and write coherently, logically, and appropriately in response. Progress will be measured through internal assessments and standardized testing. Except: AP Calculus is 50% test, Quiz are 20%, Homework is 20%, and Participation is 5%. · Tests will be given at the end of every chapter. You will be allowed to make up one test each quarter if you complete all of the homework for that chapter with threes and fours and you must stay after school with me to go over your mistakes. The new grade will be calculated by 1/3 of the old and 2/3’s of the new. //**You must complete the retake within one week of the last test.**// (Not including the Honors Classes or AP.) · Quizzes will be given at least 2 or more times for every chapter. · Notebooks will be checked during the test date. They must contain the homework sheet, your **__notes from class__**, your **__homework__**, and a **__one page write up__** to include a chapter summary, what you found easy, and what you found difficult. They will be collected during the chapter test. · Homework will be given every night except the night before a test and the night of a test. · Homework will be graded from 0-4. Zeros will be given if the homework is not done or if you copy someone else’s. One will be given if less then 50% of the assignment is not done and if the homework is not easy to follow. Two will be given if more than 50% of the homework is completed and the work is easy to follow. Three is given if the assignment is neat, easy to follow and if at least 75% of the problems are done. Fours will be earned if all of the assignment is done and the assignment is easy to read and understand. ** Required Class Supplies ** You should bring your text book, something to write with, and your notebook to every class. Students who are taking Algebra 2 or higher must bring with them a graphing calculator.
