Assigned
Daily
Graded on accuracy not completion
Corrections are allowed throughout the week
Usually homework is collected on Fridays
Exams
are given as unit tests. The AP book is
broken down into units. For example, the
first unit exam consists of chapters 1 – 6.
Each unit exam counts as 200 points. We will
cover 27 chapters throughout the year (17 of
these will be completed first semester).
Quiz values vary depending on the length and
content of each quiz.
A
homework pass can be used to turn in a
late assignment for full credit.
A hall pass can be used when the student
needs to leave the classroom.
If these passes are not used, they are worth
extra points at the end of the semester.
A
TI 83 or 84 Graphing Calculator is required
in this course.
A TI-89 is acceptable.
A large portion of this course deals with the
statistical software that is installed on these
calculators.
I
am available during lunch on Mondays,
Tuesdays, & Thursdays.
Please don’t hesitate to email me. This is
the best way to communicate.
I
expect great things this year and will shoot
for a 100% pass rate! McQueen has awesome
students and I have no doubt in my mind that
McQueen can meet this goal!
My pass rate average is 90% for the ten years

I
teach because I believe this is what I was
meant to do.
I love the kids. I love my subject area.
As long as I have this connection and passion,
I will be teaching.
I believe I can touch the life of each one of
my students and I know that each one of
them has something different to contribute
to my classroom. I have a choice and my
choice is to teach.
