Mr. Lum's Math Class

Policies & Procedures

Grading

Cumulative grading for every semester will be determined as follows:

Student work Percentage Grading Scale

Final ExaM 20% A 90-100%

Assessments 30% B 80-89%

ProjecTs 30% C 70-79%

Home/Classwork 20% F 0-69%

Final Exam

A final exam will be given at the end of the semester. It will test students' accumulated knowledge of all the materials we cover over the semester.

Assessments

A chapter test, cumulative test, standardized test and a mid-chapter test will be given for each chapter in the book. Announced and unannounced quizzes will be given as needed to test for understanding and progress on current material.

Home/Classwork

No work, No Credit, NO KIDDING!!! We will have daily assignments, which should not be neglected. Students must show all of their work to receive credit on a homework assignment.

Students are expected to complete the class work by the time they are due. It must be written in a neat and orderly manner as discussed in class. New mathematics vocabulary should be understood and spelling should be correct. If I cannot read it, I will not grade it!

Late work/Make up work

By MIT policy, all work MUST be completed; students who fail to complete work will be subjected to the following:

Loss of end-of-block release time;
Assignment to RTI (end-of-day) Study Hall;
Saturday School;
Or, in extreme cases, AST meetings to consider contracts and/or termination of enrollment (TOE)

Note that while ALL work is required to be turned in, late work will be subjected to a penalty of not receiving a full credit. In its role as an academic preparatory institution, MIT expects students to complete all their work. Students who are unwilling to make this commitment should consider whether MIT Academy is the best choice for their education.

It is the students' responsibility to ask a classmate what they missed if they were absent and to ask the teacher for specific assignments or refer to the math website. If a students misses an exam, it's their responsibility to make arrangements with the teacher to make it up in a reasonable amount of time.

Cheating/Plagiarism

All work submitted for grading must be your own. If cheating is detected on any piece of work submitted for credit, a grade of 0 will be given to this piece of work and further actions will be performed as dictated by the MITA Student Services guidelines.

Responsibility

There is much responsibility put on each of you to complete your assignments and to ask questions. In this classroom, everyone has a job to do. It is the job of the student to master the material and demonstrate this understanding by the end of the course. My job is to help you do your job. You also have a responsibility to provide an atmosphere of respect for everyone. I will make every reasonable effort to help you succeed. I look forward to a great year together!

The Key to Success

Good note taking and regular homework completion correlate highly with a successful student. In other words, when a student takes notes and completes the homework, he or she will be successful in this class. AIM HIGH!
