Additional Comments:
1. The course work for this year is organized around a weekly cycle of home work and class work for each lesson. We will discuss the principal points of the text book lessons in class and answer questions. The following days of the week, the student will study the lessons and do the problems assigned in the problem sets. The solutions are in the “Home Study Packet.” The students are welcome to call me or email me for help with the problems. Each week there will be a test from the “Test Forms” covering previous material. The test and problem set solutions will be turned in at the next class day.
2. Grades will be based on the A-B-C-D notation for the scale listed in the RTA Report Cards. The composite scale will be calculated for the following
1/3 for class attendance, participation and attitude
1/3 for the problem sets
1/3 for the tests
The semester grade will be based on the average quarter and the mid term exam grade. There will be a final exam.
