Calculators
During class, students will need to supply their own calculators. The TI-73 is a great one to use, but it can also be a basic calculator. For the first few chapters, we will not be using calculators but as the year progresses, they will be allowed.
Textbooks
The students will be responsible for a textbook. I do require students to get a cover, whether they buy one or make one. They are simple to make, and I would be more than willing to help them if they need help.
Retakes and Corrections
If the student wishes, I do allow corrections on homework. Each student grades their own paper and then can take it home and make corrections if they want. This will be due the next day.
I also allow retakes of tests and quizzes, but the student will need to come in outside of class to rework the problems they missed. This helps them better understand the concepts they struggled with. The student can come in during lunch, before or after school, or during their study hall. They can then take a different test or quiz. The new score will be used for the test. The tests and quizzes need to be done before the end of the quarter.
