You are expected to pay attention, take notes, ask relevant questions, and participate in class discussions. You will be assigned homework every night, and all homework assignments will be posted on the website. Be prepared for graded homework checks and reading quizzes periodically, but more importantly be prepared to discuss the homework assignment and ask questions about any problems that you do not understand.
In a testing situation, you will write your own answers, without using any notes, preprogrammed calculators or the like, unless you have been given permission from the instructor to use such resources. Specifically:
• You will not look at another student's paper during a test, quiz, or other individual assessment.
• You will not allow another student to look at your paper during such an assessment.
• You will not discuss the test, quiz, or assessment with any student who has not yet taken it.
• You will not help any student study for a test, quiz, or assessment that you have taken but they have not.
• You will not ask other students for information about a test, quiz, or assessment that you have not yet taken.
If you collaborate with another student on a lab exercise, you are permitted to share data, observations, and results with your partner. However, you each write your own report--including calculations, graphs, analyses, conclusions, etc.--in your own words.
Consequences
If you fail to meet these expectations there will be consequences, which will depend on the severity of your failure. These consequences may include a zero on the assignment, and notification of the incident to parents, deans, and the Upper School Director.
