| What is this Test Correction Replacement Program | A.) Follow the below procedures and your next test % will replace your last test %, only if better. B.) Must correct
ALL incorrect answers, and write a process statements for each. |

| Appointments | Our classroom time is very valuable. I'm dedicated to teaching and re-teaching concepts. If you need additional help, no problem, just set up an appointment. Appointment forms are located in the classroom. As a reminder, you should come with a prepared list of questions or concepts for our appointment. I reserve the right to deny additional help outside of classroom hours if class time is not used wisely. You will have to seek additional help form a peer, parent, sibling, or professional tutor, not another math teacher. As a reminder, I do not discuss grades during class, if you need to check your records against mine, no problem, just set up an appointment. Lastly, if you just need someone to listen, no problem, just stop by anytime. |
| Calculator Buying Advice | Our department recommends a TI-84+ graphing calculator. You should invest in the calculator you plan on using for the PSAE exams in your junior year. The mathematics section of the ACT is 60 questions in 60 minutes. |
