1. Attendance! Attendance! Attendance! Attend every class! Don't participate in senior skip day! 2. Attend review sessions on Wednesday afternoons. 3. Do your homework every night, and Show All Work! Write down the original problem; then begin solving it. Do not hand in just the answers. If you use a calculator, show how you set up the problem. 4. Do your own work. Be HONEST. Please don't copy answers from the back of the book (or from a friend) and hand them in as your own – that is plagiarism. But do use the back of the book to check your work – I will check the even numbered problems. 5. You must be a "risk-taker." You must try each problem that is assigned. Do NOT leave problems blank on homework. 6. Remain Positive! Don't let this class or any class (or life) get you down. Keep things in perspective. Be enthusiastic. "Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm." - Emerson 7. Don't believe this comic strip – I have high expectations for you, even on the first day! I believe that students will rise to the level of expectation that the teacher has for them!
