Bell Ringer: On a note card, please write your name as you'd like it pronounced, your parents' names, email addresses, and phone #'s, your seating needs, and your textbook numbers
Discuss syllabus
Syllabus can be downloaded from the file cabinet page on this web site, if you lose your copy
Class procedures
Chimes - signal to be quiet
Stopwatch after chimes - how much time you owe me after the bell
Can earn back time by working productively in class
Folders
Each student will keep a manila folder for all assignments in this class
The first page in your folder will be an index, which has columns for: page number, assignment name, due date, points possible, and points earned
The second page will be your syllabus
Write the page number at the bottom right of all assignments
These folders will be collected when we have a test to check assignments
Use the "assignments" page on this web site to check your index
Assignments
Will have an assignment almost every day
Some assignments will be collected and checked for correctness
Collected at beginning of the block
Any assignment not turned in at the beginning of the block is late, and will lose 20% for each day it is late
Other assignments will remain in your folder and be checked for completeness when you turn in your folder
All assignments must be kept in this folder through the end of the term
Bell Ringers
There will be a bell ringer on the board each day when you come in
Bell Ringers will be page 2 in your folder, and should all be done on the same sheet of paper (until it's full, of course)
Web site
Address is at the top of the syllabus
Has pages for notes, an assignment list, a calendar, recent grades, and files from class that you can download
Should be used as a resource for studying, completing assignments, and catching up after missing class
