Binder: should be organized by each chapter we discuss
2. When the instructor is talking, you are listening. The same courtesy will be extended to you. Address each other and your instructor politely and with respect.
3. When you have an excused absence it is your responsibility to obtain a homework request sheet AND hand in ALL missed assignments, homework and take tests with three school days. Make arrangements to write missed tests before or after school. If it is a required absence you must complete work, tests, projects, etc. BEFORE leaving. Failure to follow the above steps will result in a zero. If it is an invalid absence, you will receive a zero for work and tests missed. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments were made during your absence.
