Chapter Exams
You are expected to write exams on the day they are given. If you cannot write an exam for
reasons of illness, travel or appointments you can write at noon on several dates in the term. These
dates will be posted in the classroom.
It is the responsibility of the student to make up unwritten exams. Make arrangements to be
free on these days. No exceptions will be made to this policy. Any exams not written will receive a mark
of zero. No rewrites of exams are allowed.
Assignments
Assignments help you to understand the material of the course and give the teacher some
feedback concerning your level of understanding. If all assignments are completed and handed in, this
will help not only your final mark, but assist you in studying for unit exams. Some assignments will be
marked on the basis of completion, others for correctness of answers; all assignments should be well
done. Assignments must be handed in at the beginning of the period in which it is due. Late
assignments lose 20 percent per day late (i.e. after 5 days, an assignment has no value).
Absence is not an excuse for late assignments or homework. Make arrangements with
others in the class to find out what was missed and what is due. Homework is marked
incomplete if you are absent; make sure that you show your homework to the teacher on
the next school day.
Final Exam
The final exam is a comprehensive quiz on the entire course.
Absences
Each student is responsible for all missed notes and assignments. You cannot expect to catch up
in class time (see the Extra Help section). Absences cannot help but to reduce a person's marks. The
school policy on absences will be followed in this class. If an absence is uncleared it may not be used as
an excuse for handing in an assignment late.
Lates
Are not tolerated. All students are expected to be in their desks when the tone sounds. The
school policy on lates will be followed in this class. If you are late, you will be expected to wait quietly
outside the classroom. You will be admitted by the teacher when it is appropriate to do so. If a
homework check is done while you are waiting in the hallway you will not get credit for the
work. If an assignment is to be handed in it will be marked as late (and lose 20 percent).
Food or Drink

I will be in the building by 7:30 most mornings and until at least 4:30 most afternoons. I will be
either in my classroom (room 372 or 361) or the science office (room 362).
If you are coming, make an appointment; other commitments may require my attention
elsewhere.
