There are some rules you will have to follow so we can have a smoothly run and efficient classroom:  no eating or drinking in this class; no gum chewing; no throwing of papers, books, etc.; stay in your seat.  The first time you are tardy, you will get a warning.   Any further tardies will result in a detention. If at any time you do not follow the rules, you will be issued a detention. 

You will be graded on in-class work and written tests.  If you are absent, you will need to see me for before or after class--not during class.  Remember, as responsible almost-adults you will have to take responsibility for completing your work! 

For a good grade, hand in all papers on time, do all the work that is assigned, correctly answer the questions, and BEHAVE in class!
