Other Materials necessary for class: Each student should have a notebook for
taking notes and working out sample problems.
Homework: Expect to spend approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours
per day on assignments. Assignment
solutions will be handed out at the beginning of each semester. Questions on the assignments will be answered
at the beginning of each class time. There
will be 3-4 lessons covered each week.
Class time: Class time will always begin with review of
the previous week's lessons by answering any questions the students may
have. The remainder of the class time
will be spent on new material.
Tests: Tests will be assigned approximately every 2
weeks. Parents will administer (and
sign) the tests and the student will turn in the test at the beginning of class
the following week. All tests will be
graded by the teacher and returned to the student. A Final Exam will be given during the final
class period.
Grading: Assignment completion must be monitored by
the parents on a daily basis to get the greatest possible value from the
class. Students should not fall behind! Assignments are to be corrected by the parent
or student and handed in weekly. Tests
will be corrected by the teacher and be returned with the percentage correct.
