Be prepared.  A three ring binder with paper and dividers, pens, pencils, a highlighter, a daily planner if not utilizing your Chrome Book, required books and charged Chrome Book  must be brought to class each day.  If you are unprepared for class, you cannot successfully participate, and will lose participation points for that day.

 

Homework is due at the beginning of class.  Homework will be checked, collected or you will be given a quiz on the assignment.
