Students in my class should come to class each day with a writing utensil as well as a composition book for bell work and notes.  Each student is expected to participate in all discussions and lessons.  Your participation will be reflected in your grade at the end of each quarter.  This class requires students be able to analyze and interpret data as well as research topics for presentation so be prepared daily to work with others as well as independently.  If a student misses class for whatever reason, it is that student's responsibility to complete any assignments missed as well as copy any notes or bell work missed on that day.  This class puts most of the responsibility on the student as a stepping stone in preparation for college.  Your grade is a reflection of the work and effort you put into the class, so there is no one to blame but yourself if it doesn't meet your standards.  If you have any additional questions or problems please feel free to see me after school or email me at jdostert@airport.com .
