• ​Homework will mostly consist of online lessons using Quizizz

• May redo until you get a 100%

• Remember, homework is 25% of your grade

  • Understanding the material on the homework will improve your quiz and test scores​

• ​Guided notes will be attached to the assignments in Moodle, and completed guided notes should be brought to the following class

Multiple Choice

The lessons in Quizizz can only be completed once. Whatever grade you receive on the first attempt is your final grade!

​Class Format: Class

• ​Coming to class without completing the lesson will be detrimental

• I do not expect you to have mastered the content just from the lessons, but you should engage with it enough to be able to ask specific questions

  • Specific question:  “In the lesson, you said _______.  How does that apply in this particular situation?”

  • Vague question:  “I don’t get it.  Can you help me?”
