Evaluation:

End of Unit Assessments (Tests or Projects) 40% Self Reflection Quizzes 10% Inquiry Activities 10% Assignments 10% Comprehensive Final Exam (one per semester) 30%

Expectations:

 There will be one self reflection quiz to be done in each unit. I will go over each question in class and students will correct their own questions. To receive full marks for the self reflection students must explain their mistake and make any corrections. Unit exams will be written at the end of each unit.  Unit assignments and inquiry activities will be checked on the day of the unit exam. The rational for this is: that some students are very busy outside of school and may not finish an assignment the very next day. However, it is an expectation that all homework and inquiry activity assignments are done by the unit exam day in order to improve results and decrease test anxiety. After this time assignments and activities will still be accepted.

All exams are to be written on the day specified — limited exceptions.

Any student wishing to have a rewrite on an exam must have all the assignments, and inquiry activities completed for that unit. Students must complete the rewrite before we finish the next unit. Also students are expected to attend two hours of extra tutorial through the various programs offered at E.D. Feehan. There will be a limit of 2 rewrites in a semester, and only one per unit.

Keys to Success in Math Class: Be here, be on time, and be prepared. Do your assigned work and corrections, ALWAYS! Ask questions until you understand!
