Organizational
skills are very important and help you to be a successful student. Please come to class with the required items,
and this will help you to become organized and prepared to work. If you do not have everything required of
you, you will lose points for the day.
Homework
is due on the due date only. Please
bring it to class; you will not be permitted to go back to your locker. If you do not have it, you may turn it in (fully completed) one
day late for half credit. If you are
absent, it is your responsibility to get the assignment from me. You will have as many days as you were absent
to make up the assignment.
