Note Set & Extra Credit Policy
Note Set Policy:
I will be providing many of the note sets for this class. Most of the important points will be on those notes, but you will have to add a few things here and there. I will not print the notes and hand them to you; instead, it will be your responsibility to print the note sets and bring them to class each day. I will try to email two-three chapters worth of note sets at a time, so you have plenty of time to print them off. If you don't have a computer at home, no problem. Just print them off in the CRC or wherever a printer is available in the school. Why do I provide most of the notes? It allows you to listen & take in more of what I'm teaching, rather than trying to play "catch up" by writing out our conversations.
Extra Credit Policy:
Starting this school year, all extra-credit assignments/opportunities will be posted on this blog, and will be un-announced. It will be up to you to check this blog and see what extra credit options are available to you at any given time.
