    If I have a faculty meeting (usually once per month on Mondays) please wait quietly for me to finish (usually 3:15-3:30 p.m.) in the chairs outside the library or in the hall outside the math classroom. Please be ready to work at 3 p.m.

    You must have your signed Tutor Ticket to me by Friday. The school is locked, tap on the the classroom window and I will let you in.

  • TIP: Coming in for help BEFORE you do poorly on an assignment is best!!

Redo Policy -- General Requirements

You can make up any test or quiz (except those at the end of a quarterly grading period of course) and usually any homework assignment that you scored low on!

You must attend at least two (2) help sessions for a test or quiz and at least one for homework-- either after school or on Saturdays as described above. The first session is to show me that you have restudied your weak areas or to get help on those areas. The second is for the redo.

Redos are normally scored at the 92% level, for example, say you scored a 65% on the original test and you score a 100% on the redo. A 92% would go in the gradebook for that test. On an individual basis, I may determine that you need more than one help session to get ready to redo an assignment.
 
Redo Policy -- Schedule Requirements
  • Homework assignments must be redone within 2 weeks of the assignment due date.. Often, an additional set of problems or an alternative set of problems will be part of the redo assignment. The original homework assignment should be attached to the redo so DO NOT THROW OUT ANY WORK until the end of the grading period.

  • Normally, only one Test/Quiz redo per help session.
