Graphing Calculator. Students in accelerated mathematics courses at HHSwill be given access to a graphing calculator for personal use in and outsideof class. Rights and responsibilities regarding the use and care of thiscalculator are described in the Calculator Agreement apart from thissyllabus.

METHODS OF EVALUATION

Students will be evaluated on the quality and completion of homework,section quizzes, chapter tests, and technology projects. The grading scalefor this course is standard across the mathematics department.

Grading Scale. A 100-94A- 93-90B 89-84B- 83-80

C 79-74C- 73-70D 69-64D- 63-60F 59-0

Semester Grades. Semester grades are calculated in one of two ways,depending on whether the student is required to take the final exam. Seethe student handbook for further information on final exam exemption. If astudent is exempt from taking the final or the final exam is not required tocount toward the semester grade, his/her semester grade will be an average

of the two quarters. If a student is required to take the final exam, his/hersemester exam will be a weighted average of the quarters (40% each) andthe semester exam (20%).

A formula for calculating the semester grade:

(0.4 Quarter 1 Grade) + (0.4 Quarter 2 Grade) + (0.2 Final ExamGrade) = Semester Grade

ABSENT/LATE WORK POLICY

From the Herrin High School Student Handbook,

Make-up Work Following an Absence. It is the responsibility ofthe student to check with each teacher on the first day back from anabsence regarding arrangements to make up missed assignments andtests. Arrangements and deadlines shall be established between theteacher and the student. Failure to make arrangements on the firstday back or failure to meet the established deadlines for making up

assignments and tests, results in the loss of make-up privileges andzeros are given for the missed work.

When students are present, but have not completed the days assignmentwhen it is checked in class, a score of zero will be recorded. Late assignment

scores will be reduced by 50%. Assignments more than one day late will notbe accepted.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

From the Herrin High School Student Handbook,

Academic Integrity/Tutoring/Social Probation. Herrin HighSchool has adopted an academic integrity policy to discouragecheating on any type of assignment or test. This policy will be

enforced on tests, quizzes, homework, projects, reports, etc.Plagiarizing large sections of writing is also included. The offenses willnot be accumulated in different classes. For instance, if a student iscaught cheating in one class and then caught cheating in anotherclass, they would both be counted as first offenses. Violation ofacademic integrity will be considered when applying for National HonorSociety.

Punitive actions for cheating in a class will be as follows:1st Offense: Zero on assignment and student is placed in ACR.2nd Offense:Zero on assignment and student is suspended from school

for two days. Since the student is suspended for academicreasons, the student will receive zeros for days missed dueto suspension.

3rd Offense: Same as second offense, except suspension will be for fivedays.

EXTRA HELP

If students feel that they require extra instruction outside of what is offeredduring normal class hours, they have several options. I am usually availablebefore school in my classroom for individual appointments. After school, I

am a co-sponsor of the mandatory tutoring program, so my schedulechanges. Students can find me in the large testing room or my classroom.

MR. HARLOWS CLASSROOM RULES

1. When Mr. Harlow is publicly addressing a student, group of students, orthe entire class, he is the only one with permission to speak.

2. Students will be in their desks and prepared to learn when the bellrings to begin the period until the bell rings to dismiss the period,unless otherwise instructed.

3. Students will show respect to their classmates, the faculty and staff ofHHS, and the property of the school and others.

4. Students may only work on math and teacher approved materialsduring study time.

5. Before school, after school, lunch time, and passing periods betweenall seven hours of the day give students ample opportunities to use therestroom, get a drink of water, go to their lockers, and run personalerrands throughout the building. Students will not leave the classroomexcept under emergency circumstances.

6. For all assignments completed in this course, NO WORK = NO CREDIT!

ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR ADVANCED MATHEMATICS.

The advanced mathematics courses at Herrin High School progress at avigorous pace and have elevated academic demands. Naturally, the daily

attendance of these students in classroom lecture and discussion weighsheavily on their prospects of success. Because of this, the mathematicsdepartment stipulates that any student who is absent from class more thannine (9) days in any one semester will be removed from the advanced trackthe following semester and will be enrolled in a lateral, yet less demandingcourse. Upon reaching five (5) absences, the teacher will attempt to contactthe students parents/guardians as a reminder of the attendance policy.
