Quarter Credit: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">For this quarter, course work will consist of: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Weekly experiment / project 6 pts x 9 wks = 54 pts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Math hero ½ pt per day = 23 pts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Participation ½ pt per day = 23 pts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Other than tests and possibly projects, students **//must be present//** to earn credit. (Make-up work for **//excused//** absences will be available on the class website and are to be handed in within a week of returning to class.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">In class (approximately on time, still in room when bell rings, only reasonable amounts of time out of the room)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">On task (head up, working / participating, not distracting or disrupting others)

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Perfect Attendance Bonus: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Any 13 consecutive school days of attendance is eligible for a 5% extra credit bonus, up to 3 bonuses per quarter. For multiple bonuses, the 13-day periods cannot overlap.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Expectations: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">It is expected that anyone choosing to be **in class** is working toward our goal of learning enough physics to get credits. Given the number of people using the room, people who are not working or are being disruptive will be asked to leave. **Respect** is fundamental to helping everyone achieve our goal.
