Classroom Rules/Guidelines:
Respect yourself and others
Exceed expectations
Sincerely listen
Pick up
Encourage others
Count on others
Take advice
Homework Hints/Expectations:
ARE YOU STUCK, CONFUSED, DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR
HOMEWORK? TRY THESE STEPS IN ORDER:
Put your notes beside your book and homework paper. Reread your notes from class for similar examples.
Read your book! A novel idea, but
believe it or not, math books are actually very readable. I use different examples in class for notes than in your book.
Call a friend. Showing all work is
required on homework so I’m not worried about cheating. I DO expect you to learn the material.
E-mail me or send me a remind chat if you’re still stuck. incomplete tomorrow.
