I reserve the right to vary a grade based on certain subjective factors I believe are important, including the following:
-- faithful attendance
-- classroom participation
-- willingness to help others in and out of class
-- interest in the subject
-- maturity and integrity as a student
Cooperation : I would like to stress that I not only permit but encourage students to work together, and I believe strongly that the sprit of community that is thereby fostered is an important factor in the learning process. We will often work together on problems, in and out of classroom. I do not believe in the adversarial model of education. You are not

competing against each other, nor with me. Our collective goal is to assure that each student has full opportunity to achieve his or her highest potential.
