AP COURSE OVERVIEW.pdf - Richmond School District No. 38

There will be several unit tests. You will have 3 chances at the writing of the final exam. Your score will be the best of thethree attempts, or 100% of your mark can be based on the average of the three finals. Marks may or may not be scaled for the FIRST reporting period, as this is a university levelcourse. The range for a grade of "A" will be at approximately 80 to 86%, and all othergrades will be scaled accordingly. If you have regular attendance, and try your best to understand all of the material that wecover in class (demonstrated by your effort in this course), you are guaranteed a grade of"C-" or better. Practice Tests will be given for each unit, in addition to review handouts. It is in your bestinterest to do as much practice for each test as you can. This is not an easy course ! If you are away the day of an exam, you will not be given a chance to rewrite. If you have accumulated 5 or more absences, no quiz marks will be omitted, and noassignments will be accepted late. Make sure that you have regular attendance to thisclass. CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IF ANY ASSIGNMENT / QUIZ / OR TEST IS IN QUESTION,BOTH THE COPIED PAPER AND THE PAPER IT WAS COPIED FROM WILL RECEIVE A SCORE OFZERO. I strongly encourage you to work together on assignments and homework, but donot lend out your work. Working together means helping each other, but not turning inidentical papers! have fun , good luck, and enjoy !!!PS: It is extremely important that you keep up with the material that we cover in this class. It isvery easy to fall behind. I suggest finding a buddy or forming a study group that meetsregularly to do homework, and study for tests etc. ( MATH PARTIES !!!)
