Tips for Success

• You should expect privacy, so don’t make your business public

• You should expect a quiet working environment, so don’t talk during work time

Oops, I didn’t get it done….• Too bad, so sad…..You have plenty of time in

class and you can take any notes you need to complete your class work

• As long as the class is working quietly and efficiently, I will provide you with as much time as you need.

• Extra incentive….If you finish the assignment in class before you leave, you can bring it to me for extra credit!

I’m Not Good at MATH!

• I understand that! Not being good at something doesn’t mean that you Can’t Learn it, or that you Shouldn’t Try!

• If you screw up an assignment, I’ll let you redo it for FULL CREDIT! Break time or from 2:30 to 3:00 pm are great to redo work you didn’t understand the first time.

• I WILL HELP YOU! I AM GOOD AT MATH!

One more thought….

• I have NEVER had someone in ANY of my classes fail that has turned in all of their work.

• Zeros in the grade book really drop your quarter grade QUICK!

• Get the work done on time and you should pass with NO PROBLEMS!
