– 40%
Homework Assignments –
10%Expect an assessment once every two weeks. The assessments are focused on the material covered during the previous weeks and will use questions that are similar to those on the ILSA. All tests will be a combination of multiple choice and free response questions.
During some of our classes you will be working in cooperative groups. This work will be graded and count as a quiz grade. In addition, traditional quizzes will be given periodically.
Laboratory study is an important component to any science. Some of the work will be done in class, some at home. We will be completing about 10 labs per quarter. Due dates for labs will be given on the weekly schedule.
Homework will be assigned in this class to introduce or reinforce a concept. Homework may be assigned from the textbook or a worksheet. If you are required to hand something in make sure you show all work and answering in complete sentences.
