Regular attendance, completed assignments, and class participation are expected. You
are responsible for keeping up with all material covered and seeking help when needed.
Some class projects are quite difficult to make up, so it is important to NOT miss class.
Make up assignments and exams due to excused absence are to be arranged with me as
soon as possible after the absence occurs.
There will be at least two exams and several class projects. The course will include use
of geometry software, Logo (www.softronix.com/logo.html) and Cabri. At the end of
the course, the student's points will be totaled. The scale is
90 - 100%
80 - 89%
70 - 79%
60 - 69%
0 – 59%
