• I treat you like adults, this means I will not come to you to tell you what you missed or to remind you to turn in make-up work.

Grading

I don’t give many tests, so they do not affect your grade very much.

The majority of your grade comes from in-class assignments. If you do not complete the in-class assignments, you will fail.

Homework is infrequent, so when I assign it, I expect it to be completed.

Make good use of class time

• I almost always give you time in class to complete your work. If you do not take advantage of this time, you will have homework.

• If you use your time wisely, you will not have homework.
