Biology A

Welcome!

Attendance/Tardies

• Attendance at the start of class • Be inside the room before passing time ends –

even 1 second after that time and you are tardy.

Behavior

Lecture– Raise your hand if you

have a question or would like me to go back over something.

– No talking with classmates

Behavior

ActivitiesYou may talk with your classmates as you work, but please stay on subject and don’t yell!

Cell Phones/Electronic Devices• Never take out Cell Phones/Electronic Devices• Might as well just leave it in your bag/locker.• If I see it, it’s mine for the period. If you don’t

like that, we can always go the hard way.

Language

What happens if a student does decide to disrupt class?

Discipline – You Choose!

• Easy Way– Accept the warning and change your behavior.

• Hard Way– Make me take your cell phone/send you to the

office/call security.

This isn’t complicated.

Discipline

• For Cell Phones1. Warning 2. Then given to me for the AP and your parents2a. If not then we have to call security, etc. Lot of hassle and work.

• For language1. Warning2. Sent to office with referral second.

Homework

• Homework will be due the next day unless I say otherwise. Your homework will be stamped during the question of the day at the beginning of class.

• Keep it in your binder.

Binders

• First homework assignment (worth 10 pts)– Bring a 3 ring binder and lined paper. I have three

hole punchers if you need to punch that paper tomorrow.

– These binders will be extremely important for your grade. Don’t lose them. Keep all activities/homework/notes in this binder.

– If you think you might lose it, leave it here with me.

Binders

• Binder quizzes will be every week and will be open binder.

• So if your binders are neat, the quizzes should be easy points.

Grading

• 80% Quizzes/Tests• 20% Assignments/Homework

Daily Routine

blank pieces of paper in the box at the front of the class. These will be graded based on how complete and thoughtful your answers are.
