Assignments to be handed in include the completion of the review questions and practice problems at the end of each chapter, as well as any lab reports that are required. At the beginning of the year an outline to be used for the reports will be given to the students. I also encourage the students to do the 'on your own' problems in each chapter, but since the answers are given in the book I do not require these to be handed in. I use a grading scale in which 90-100 is an A, 80-89 is a B, 70-79 is a C, 60-69 is a D, and below this is F. In addition to homework described above, there will be a test given on each chapter. Since we meet only 1.5 hrs per week, these tests are given to the student to take home and are to be monitored by a parent and to be handed in the following week. The student's grade is made up 60% from the test, 20% from the homework, and 20% from the lab reports. I expect the students to come to class having read the assigned pages in the book and be prepared to conduct the lab required. I encourage students to ask questions, and I am eager to answer any questions they may have. I expect students to be courteous to one another. I expect that the students will want to learn and will strive to understand the concepts. Above all, I expect the students to have fun while learning.
