Reminders
1. All classes are based on total points.
2. Don't lie, cheat or steal or curse or do anything that ain't jaunty. The Honor Code is omnipresent...like a Jove.
3. I endeavour to return all assignments the next day. This is especially true with tests. Student grades are accurate to the week.
4. All Latin tests will occur at the end of each rotation. I will always shoot for G day on the rotation calendar but will always be flexible. History tests will fall roughly every two rotations.
5. If you make below a 68, I will give you half the points you missed back up to a 70 if you rework the test with me and then prepare a one page biography on a person we both deem fit. So if you make a 60, then do the work, you wind up with a 65. The rationale behind this is twofold: a) one bad test won't sink you and b) you learn the material on the back end of the test insead of before hand. It's easier just to do the work in the first place or come to me with questions before the test.
6. Each class will have one major assessment per rotation and no more than four quizzes. Expect homework, reading, or an assignment every night.
