- Key Concept of Course: This course is a college-prep course in Second Year Algebra. The course will follow the outline given by the California State Standards for this course.
- General Plan for Course: The focus of the course is to prepare students for the May Algebra 2 Standards Exam. It also will prepare students for further work in mathematics.
- Course Requirements: Materials needed are pencils and pens, a short ruler, a circle compass, graph paper for notes and assignments, and a scientific calculator.
- Textbook Used: California Algebra 2 by Holt
- Teacher Avaliability: I am in my class for extra help during most lunch periods. The schedule will be posted in the classroom.
- Attendance Expectations: You are expected to be in class everyday. All School attendance policies as stated in the student handbook will be enforced at all times (End of Warning).
If a one day absence is known in advance, the student will notify the teacher days before the absence and make arrangements for assignments, tests, or quizzes. If a student has an unannounced absence, then assignments can be turned in penalty free the first day back, while quiz and test points will be regained through other avenues. (Usually, the final exam is used as a make-up for a missed test, but other methods can be used on a case by case basis.) If the absence is a truancy, then no points can be made up.
- Behavior Expectations: All School and District Policies as stated in the student handbook and letters from the school/district will be enforced at all times. (End of Warning). The teacher can ask a student to hand over any device that is interfearing with the student's ability to remain engaged in the lesson or classwork.
