COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course combines many of the trigonometric, geometric, and algebraic techniques needed to prepare students for the study of calculus and strengthens their conceptual understanding of problems and mathematical reasoning in solving problems. These standards take a functional point of view toward those topics. Students will engage in intellectual activities that include analyzing, classifying, planning, drawing on mathematical and scientific ideas and exploring various ways to approach and solve a problem. This course promotes achievement of the California State Trigonometry and Math Analysis standards.

GRADING POLICY

If for any reason you miss a test, you will be allowed to make up the test only if the absence is excused.

If the absence is not excused, you will not be allowed to make up the missed test.

Be responsible and clear all your absences in a timely manner!

MAKE-UP TEST POLICY

DEFINITION OF CHEATING: Disseminating, copying or receiving answers, or other information by any means other than those expressly permitted by the instructor as part of any academic exercise. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to the following:

MS. YU’S ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY

Looking towards other student’s papers

Talking or any other forms of communication

Copying answers from another person’s work onto your test/quiz

IMPROPER TEST/QUIZ–TAKING BEHAVIOR

Allowing another student to copy the answers from your test/quiz

Use of “cheat” sheets or having notes/answers anywhere in visible distance

Use of graphing calculators with unauthorized formulas and concepts programmed


Use of cellular phones or other devices with texting or program capabilities

Writing on desks, anywhere on the body, or any material object in visible distance

Giving or receiving test information to or from students in other periods


Tampering with teacher materials and/or student records

Stealing or the distribution of stolen tests/quizzes


Students are expected to complete own work at all times

Students are allowed to discuss homework and/or classwork assignments, but not to collaborate in solving problems or writing answers unless Ms. Yu states explicitly that cooperating is allowed

EXPECTED ASSIGNMENT-COMPLETION BEHAVIOR

If two or more students are found to have cooperated on a homework assignment, all students are considered to have cheated regardless of which student did the original work and which student copied

EXPECTED ASSIGNMENT-COMPLETION BEHAVIOR

Note: Attempted cheating, even when unsuccessful, will be treated as academic dishonesty. Simply having observable possession of any prohibited or unauthorized information or device during an exam, even if it is not used, is an act of academic dishonesty. It will be dealt with as such.


An automatic zero on the assignment / quiz / test with no opportunity for make-up

A notification to parent (via email, phone or mail) of the incident

An automatic “U” in Work Habits for the semester

DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES:

A referral sent to the discipline administrator/dean for a parent conference and a permanent notation on the student’s academic file

Possible suspension from school, as deemed appropriate by school administrators/deans


An automatic drop/fail in the course and removal from the class on any second offense


All students must adhere to Ms. Yu’s Academic Honesty Policy. The policy will be strictly enforced in this class.

ALL FORMS OF CHEATING WILL BE REPORTED FOR IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION!!!


Homework will be given every day or after each new lesson.

Homework is worth 2 points if completed on time. Late homework will be not accepted.

You are responsible for homework when you are absent. You will have the number of days absent after your return to turn in your work for full credit.

HOMEWORK / MAKE-UP POLICY

For any reason you need to leave the room, you are allowed up to 4 passes without penalty. However, for each pass you do not use, you will receive 1 extra credit point. Thus, if you never leave the room, you will receive 4 extra credit points at the end of the semester.
