COURSE OBJECTIVES:

ATTENDANCE:  Attendance is very important. If you do not come to class, it will affect
your grade.  Get the telephone number of a classmate who can help you with homework if
you are absent.


GRADES:

Attendance can affect your final grade. Be sure you understand how I give grades in letters and percentages. Below seventy percent is not passing.

Most of the homework for this class will not be collected, but it will be discussed in class.  It is important that you include evidence of having done the homework in your portfolio. If you are absent for a test, it will affect your final grade.

This is how I will calculate your final grade:
          30%   Improvement based on announced in-class practice tests, including final test
          10%   Participation and attendance
          60%  Portfolio
