Weekend HW, Fourth Quarter Changes, Beautiful Weather...

Make sure you go outside! Do some Stats multiple choice in the grass and enjoy the beautiful spring weather we're supposed to have! Go for a hike, sit on a rock, and think about life, the universe, and everything. (And do Stats!) No social networking this weekend, go live life!

Weekend Homework:
Please complete the 30 multiple choice provided in class (all regarding chapter 23). If you lost yours you can find it uploaded under our classroom assignments and entitled, "Chapter 23: 30 MC."

This is a 30 point grade! No more late work! If you forget Monday, you'll lose 10 points if you hand it in Tuesday. You'll lose 10 more if it's handed in Wednesday. After that, none will be accepted.

4th Quarter Changes:
1. No more stamps (until after the AP Exam)! Each class will begin with a short (2-3 question) multiple choice quiz as we prepare for the AP Exam.
2. Late work will be strongly penalized, and not accepted after 2-3 days. No more of that.
3. I will check every homework assignment.
4. I will grade the majority of your work!

This is the home stretch to the test! I'm requiring you all to step up your game and try/work harder than you have all year. It's only fair that I do the same, so the next month will be tough for all of us. I'll have more to grade and will do so more efficiently. And you will have the challenge of a rigorous workload, while raising your class average.

I would not issue such a challenge if I didn't have the utmost faith you could all succeed. I know if we work hard we can all do well on this exam and make ourselves and EHHS proud!

Other Reminders:
  • Saturday Session permission slips due Weds 4/10
  • AP Exam field trip forms due Friday 4/12.
  • Mandatory AP meeting Weds, 4/10 after school
