  • 8/29/25 - How to not lose a point (or two... or three)

    1 -I expect your heading to be the same as displayed on the White Board in class, in the upper right corner of your paper: 

    Last name, First name 

    Date

    Class period

    Assignment name

    2- If your assignment has more than one page, you staple them together.

    3- Place your assignments in the correct tray.  If you are emailing it to me, have your name and heading on there as well.  Have it in your email message too.

    4-Your email address should be appropriate.  It should have your first and last name in it.  If it doesn't, change it.

    5- Tear off the frills from the edge of your notebook paper for the hard copies you turn in.

    6- If I have you redo an assignment, its not to update your grade to a perfect 'A'.  It is to relearn a concept or include something you forgot.  If you passed with a decent grade, that is your grade.  Improving a grade from 40% to 70% is more important than trying to change from 93% to 100%.

    7- Always plug in your laptop.  

    8- Clean up after yourselves.  If not, you'll lose privileges.
