To do well in this course, you should have good work habits, be on top of all your assignments and bring your binder and calculator each class. Good attendance is essential. If an absence is planned (school events, appointments etc.) make arrangements with me before you are away. If it is unforeseen (illness), arrangements must be made the day you return. It is your responsibility to get as much help as needed in and out of class time. If you start experiencing difficulties, come for extra help immediately.

Good Luck.
