MATERIALS: Daily items: Pen, Pencil, 3 Ring Notebook, Spiral, Colored Pencils & Textbook.  Some projects will require a calculator .  The following is the website you will refer to for packets, projects, extra credit requirements and many other things during the year.  Please refer to it often, it is extremely helpful.  http://www.cjhs.org/teacherssites/taylor/accbio/

PROCEDURE:

1. Bring the above items to class daily. 
   
2. Homework :  This may be done in ink or typed and TURNED IN AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS.  LATE HOMEWORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED unless an absent is excused.  
3. Daily Start:
   a.  Check for handouts in the front of room. 
   b.  Turn in homework.  In homework basket/by class.   YOUR NAME AND PERIOD MUST BE ON THE ASSIGNMENT!!!!!!!!
4. Make-up work and test policy:  When you have an excused absence, it is YOUR responsibility to ask either a fellow student or the teacher what was missed. You are allowed the number of school days absent plus one to make up the work for full credit. Up to two school days later you can receive half credit. After that, no credit will be given. Since tests are announced well in advance, telling me you cannot take a test on a test day is not allowed except for illness. Quizzes are not always announced so please be prepared daily.
5. HONEST: You are expected to be the sole author of your work. No credit will be given for work copied.
6. Extra Credit will be  offered.  Please don't request this. It will be stated.See attached extra credit sheet.
7. GRADES:For your reference and security, please keep all graded papers in your notebook for an entire grading period. Your grades will be up to date on power school. Should you find an omission or an error, your graded paper is your receipt. Address any concerns outside of class. Grades are based on your percentage of the total points. 90%-A, 80%-B, etc.
8. GROUP WORK:Please get into groups quickly, work on your tasks jointly, and when asked, return to your seat quickly to participate in the large class work. Group work is part of the learning process. Choose your groups wisely when asked. Everyone is expected to be a productive part of their group.
9. NEED HELP? Outside of class you can get help at the Resource Center or with your teacher. Please feel free to ask for an appointment. Should you miss a class, it is a good idea to get the notes from a classmate if possible and don't forget to check your assignment sheet regularly.
   
10.  My  major peeve is talking when I am talking or when other members of the class are asking questions or responding to questions. Those who listen and participate in this world succeed far more often than those who don't.
