.Mr. TUTTLE’S TWO MAIN RULES:
Rule #1 - A teacher should give 60% of the instructions needed to carry out an assignment. The Student needs to work out the other 40%. The answer to most questions reveal themselves with a bit of thought.
Rule #2 – When directions are unclear or not understood, do the assignment you feel SHOULD have been assigned. Take the initiative!
ASSIGNMENTS:
ALL assignments are posted on Google Classroom, so there is no need to ask which assignments are missing.
All assignments will be completed neatly and will be typed or hand written as directed. You will submit all assignments on Google Classroom (PDF), even if you also present a hard-copy.
Sloppy work is not tolerated in the professional world and will not be in class. Assignments will be completed on lined binder paper in pencil or pen with MLA-style heading.
All creative projects, term papers and special topic reports will be typed, double spaced, times new roman 12pt font, one inch margins. All referenced work must be cited properly (MLA or APA).
If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to receive any work he/she may have missed. It is a good policy for students to have the phone number and e mail address of a responsible classmate that can keep them up to date on assignments they may have missed.
EXTRA CREDIT: There is none. Don’t ask for it. If you hand in your completed work on-time you will have a good grade. I do not grade late work unless the student has a special situation.
QUIZZES AND TESTS:
Tests and quizzes will consist of multiple choice, true and false, short answer and essay questions. These grading instruments will be administered at the end of each chapter and will measure the student’s ability to recollect and recall the important issues of each chapter. Quizzes shall be administered at my discretion and may come without prior knowledge or warning.
Tests will be announced and reviewed before their administration.
MAKE-UP TESTS: If you miss a test, you will take a different one than the rest of the class. Make every effort to be present on testing days.
BINDER:
Each student will be required to maintain a 3 ring binder that will contain all completed assignments, notes, terms and correspondence
The student binder shall include;
Syllabus
Daily Assignments
All issued materials
Returned assignments
Test reviews, notes and Vocabulary lists.
