Homework
• Daily homework should take between 20 and 40 minutes (some shorter,
some longer).
• Homework is not graded, but checked for completeness. Math is not
always an answer, but a thought process, and sometimes the work turned
in might be methods you tried that didn’t necessarily work, or questions
you might have to get further in the problem.
• All homework problems must be attempted, with proof shown, in order to
get full credit. Any incomplete homework assignment will be given at most
half credit.
• Homework will be considered late if not received at the beginning of class.
Late homework is NOT accepted for credit; however, it should be
completed to practice.
• Homework answers will be posted and/or gone over the next day.
• A 100% in homework should be your goal for each marking period.

more you are absent the more you will miss.
 All missed work must be made up.
 When you are not here….we are!
 Check the website.
