Grading:

The grading policy is very simple: total points you have earned divided by total possible points. You literally earn the grade you deserve. There is no late work allowed. However, if there are any extraordinary circumstances, please come in before class begins to discuss them with me.

Supplies

For starters, you will need an organized 2 inch binder (1 ½ is okay) which includes 1) a pack of lined index cards, 2) at least 5 index dividers, 3) folder paper, 4) a pouch to hold pens/pencils/index cards, as well as 5) some pens and pencils. There will be graded binder checks throughout the year.
