Homework will consist of questions discussed during the first weekly class period and lab writing from the second weekly class period.  All homework will be graded and returned to students.

Students will be assessed based on their homework and open book tests.  A letter grade based on a 10 point scale will be earned by the students and reported to parents at the end of the course.  If something different is needed for a charter school, please let teacher know and it can be accommodated.

1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

The class will use a Digital Interactive Notebook for the course.  Each student will need a Google login to gain access to it.
