Other Materials necessary for class: Each student should have a compass,
protractor, calculator, and notebook for taking notes and working out sample
problems.
Homework: Expect to spend approximately an hour a day
on assignments. Assignment solutions
will be handed out at the beginning of each semester. Assignments are to be corrected by the parent
and/or student. Questions on the assignments
will be answered at the beginning of each class time. There will be 3-5 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 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 most possible value from the
class. Students should not fall
behind! Assignments will be handed in
weekly. Tests will be corrected by the
teacher and be returned with the percentage correct.
