 * Grades** are based on a total-point system. Assignments may be described as homework, classwork, projects, lab reports, webquests, quizzes, or tests but they are not weighted. In general, homework is assigned 5 points for completion (not correct/incorrect); classwork, quizzes, and lab reports may be worth 10-20 points; and tests worth 35-50 points.


 * Supplies** needed are pencils or pens, a 3-ring binder, a pocket folder inside the binder. Occasionally calculators will be necessary.

Your students are all members and may create and edit pages and contribute to discussions. 
 * This Class Wiki** will house assignments, projects, discussions, and lab data and analysis.
