The 2008-2009 school year has started. Welcome to Physics.
Here is some general information about how the class runs.
Grades:
Approximately 50% Tests, 30% Labs, 20% homework
Tests: About twice a quarter, with semester finals also. Retakes are available, but only half the missed points are recoverable.
Labs: Although we’ll have weekly hands-on lab assignments, I’ll only have you write up formal lab reports about twice a quarter. (The first one will be due Sept. 15.) Late labs are penalized at 10% a week.
Homework: I’ll check them off for effort and completion on the due date and collect them in a packet on the test day. Show your work, be neat, stay organized. Talk to me if homework ever feels like busy work. No late homework accepted except for excused absences.
Grading Scale: 100-90 A, 90-80 B, 80-70 C, 70-60 D, <60 F.
Supplies:
Textbook
Notebook, or section of a notebook
Calculator
Protractor
Graph Paper
